I guess I’d forgotten that Pratto was injured the last couple years. IDK if that is good or bad to be honest. On the one hand, I guess it’s good because it would explain the lack of power. On the other hand it is just another question. Can you stay healthy enough along with making enough contact after two years? We’ll see what happens. It may not be the first month, but we’ll see all these guys up and playing at some point during the year. Will need them all.
Great post, David. I'm excited about the possible emergence of Pratto. Seems odd that a player of his age would have an injury that lingers for 2 seasons. Melendez looks great too. Go Royals! I'll be curious about your pitching projections. Singer looks a bit concerning. The narrative of Singer not getting a normal spring training and causing a terrible season seems odd as well. Maybe Marsh emerges there?
Thanks for the insight and post. Still wondering where Hampson fits into the roster - his offseason signing was curious. Seems like the same type of player as Loftin and KC could cover CF with Blanco. I know Hampson will be on roster since he is a FA signing. He also signed so early in offseason.
It’s been great hearing about legitimate position-player depth for the Royals. I can’t honestly remember a time when the Royals have had this (since early 2000’s). Where there will be guys left in the minors who would normally have been starters in the past.
So many fans just can’t wrap their heads around different lineups/everyday players…….its nice to have this forum to chat!!
