Kansas City Royals: 3 up and 3 down
Kansas City Royals: 3 up and 3 downOne of the biggest surprises of 2013 was how poorly the Kansas City Royals offense performed. Billy Butler had a down year. Mike Moustakas refuses to figure it out at the big league level. Lorenzo Cain finally logged a significant number of at-bats but didn’t live up to the hype. 2nd base was a disaster no matter who they plugged in. There is...

Royals believe Hosmer is just scratching the surface of his talent
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- At one point last summer while on his interim stint as the Royals' hitting coach, George Brett watched Eric Hosmer slash line drive after line drive during batting practice and said, smiling, "That guy has so much talent, it's absolutely unreal."

Royals rumors: Hosmer not discussing extension with club
Going into 2011, Eric Hosmer was atop the prospect list for the Kansas City Royals. But, after 2 years of not to exciting results, his prospect shine was starting to fade. Then came 2013, when Hosmer finally broke out and became the player the Royals thought he would be. After a banner year, one would think the Royals will try to lock him up, and keep him in Kansas City for a long...

Kansas City Royals inspire hope for 2014
If there is any time to jump on the Kansas City Royals bandwagon, the time would be now. They have a winning record heading into the month of September, Dayton Moore wasn’t prompted to fire-sale all of the major pieces of their success, and the Royals are still in the hunt to make the postseason (even though it will be a miracle if they clinch a berth). The biggest reason to...

Eric Hosmer has reached “stud” status
About six weeks ago, my buddy Cardinals Fan was in KC visiting for a long weekend. The two of us sat down and talked baseball with our buddy Jayson and the Royals' summer of excitement was the topic of conversation. At that time, the Royals were fresh off their losing streak heading into the All-Star break that had us all thinking that the Royals season had ended. Always...

Eric Hosmer doused with BBQ sauce after walk-off win. Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th inning to close out a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday.
