Royals Executive Burner

@raysfan50 I’m not involved necessarily with TV contracts. More of a radio guy when I’m on the road. But I would assume so.

@royalsexec Does Directv have a channel for the Royals yet?

Opening week. Ask REB anything.

@BrahsWorld84 That’s a long way away.

@royalsexec For 28’ season, is the expectation for Jensen & Mitchell to split full time catching duties & DH other?

@DentistryUnder1 You might be just as well off asking a magic 8 ball this question as you are asking me. I feel fairly confident in his ability to pitch better than the sum of the parts, though.

@royalsexec How confident are we in Noah Cameron's ability to not fall off a cliff? Any chance he can settle in as a 2-4 WAR starter, or is he destined for major regression?

@Andrewschutte2 Nope, not my corner of the sandbox

@royalsexec Any idea when it gets released?

@mikeisnice18 Organizational philosophy is a little more involved than that, tmk. It’s more about pitches that work with guys’ other pitches. I’m sure some of our lab guys have spoken on it more in depth than I’m prepared to.

@royalsexec Is it an organizations philosophy to generate more drop and less IVB on the CH? Mason black has intrigued me due to how his little used changeup (compared to other Sweeney projects) was in limited sample with SF.

@wolfeweeks He’d have to hit a lot more for that

@royalsexec Let Jac prove he's not Shohei

@BrahsWorld84 Zero. Negative 100. Negative a billion.

@royalsexec Your willingness to trade Chourio/Shields to get players who line up w this window better (this year & next). Say Rangers lag in a booming Evan Carter year, would u deal?

@Andrewschutte2 The old ones were really hard to beat. With that being said…👀

@royalsexec Have you seen the new city connect jerseys and can you share?

@BryanD1337 Isbel will get his recognition this year hopefully. Lugo a candidate as well. Not sure where I’ll be stationed on opening day yet.

@royalsexec Now I'm curious who the 3rd GG will be. Also will the REB be hanging out in the STM party with us on opening day?

@Ttimmons1980 If both have healthy seasons it will be closer than most anticipate

@royalsexec More Cy Young votes this year. Bubic or Ragans?

@hawks2345 I’d say No/Depends/No, in that order. Waters likely is DFA’d once massey’s health permits.

@royalsexec Are Avila/Bergert/Kolek in the minors for long? Does Waters get DFA’d since he’s out of options?

@BryanD1337 - If I were a bettor, I’d bet on it - 2 SS 3 GG

@royalsexec How much will bobby win the mvp by? And over/under many silver slugger/gold glove winners will we have?

@Ttimmons1980 No. But wins in the dog days count just as many, too. Having this depth is going to help a team that’s historically had struggles in June and July.

@royalsexec Do wins in the first few weeks count less than the ones in August?

Royals media is going to have a lot of conniptions in the early season. Remember, the OD roster is very different than what it looks like in May, which is very different from July, which is very different from September/October.

@MakielGlazier Yep. If you’ll recall, Cameron/Bowlan/Sisk/Cruz didn’t break camp last year, and ended up being valuable pieces both in terms of production and trade value. There’s a lot of churn over the course of a season.

@royalsexec So Avila Berget etc ?

@BryanD1337 March is early for a draft sprint.

@royalsexec Who needs sleep, baseball season is back

To go on a full scouting trip or to go to Atlanta….. Or to do both and ruin the next month of sleep.

@BrahsWorld84 @PasquatchWRLD Sonny gray is a fun one too.

@royalsexec @PasquatchWRLD Yah there’s not a ton, different deliveries but Lincecum & Oswalt come to mind. KC listed at 6-0 which makes me wonder if he’s 5-10, 5-11, haven’t got to “size him up” yet.

I’ll have thoughts later today, but I’m feeling like I was too low on Lamkin and I’m feeling vindicated by Mitchell.

@KennyMac1984 @PasquatchWRLD He’s got a couple of good secondaries. Just didn’t use them much today. Changeup looks really fun, slider looks solid at least.

@royalsexec @PasquatchWRLD He also needs to develop his secondary offerings. Basically 4 seam and curve today.
