Why 14 for 77? The Kansas City Royals Baseball Academy created 14 major leaguers out of 77 prospects. I found that to be a pretty large number even if none of the 14 turned out to be hall of famers. I would think any scout that went 14 for 77 would have a pretty long and good career.
What is the goal of this blog? To just list my thoughts and give me a reason to attend more minor league games as opposed to sitting and watching the pro team get spanked night in and night out.
This blog is to be all about the Kansas City Royals and primarily the players in their farm system. While the Royals have been terrible since George Brett retired I believe we are entering a new age (at least I hope so). A Royal age of pitching domination with flurries of positional talent. Why do I think that? I don't know that I do but I'm hopeful for it. Some of them have to pan out, don't they?
