No mention of the NRIs that were recently signed? I think there is a 50/50 chance that one of those guys makes the Opening Day roster - Sam Freeman, Arodys Vizcaino, Colten Brewer. I think the Taylor Clarke signing was for depth. They wanted a multi-inning reliever who had options. I think Taylor opens in Omaha.

I agree on the 4 locks and Coleman, who doesn't have anything left to prove in the minors. That is 5 of 8 spots. I like Bolanos to make the team too for the reasons you mentioned, his time is now as there are a lot of relievers coming up in the system and the Royals need to see if this guy is a keeper or not. The last two spots go to a lefty - either Freeman or Speier with Tillo a dark horse, and a multi-inning guy. My guess is that last spot goes to Carlos Hernandez. The rotation will be Minor-Singer-Lynch-Keller-Bubic. If Vizcaino shows he is healthy and looking like the guy who was the Braves closer, then Coleman (due to his options) gets sent down to start the year.
