When the minor league schedule comes out I try to circle a game prior to knowing the rosters that will intrigue me enough to make the six or seven hour trip to either Kane County or NW Arkansas.  I figured with or without Bubba the Cougars would have a more interesting roster than the Naturals after seeing players during instructs, so when I saw Francisco Lindor coming to town it made it a no brainer t ...

Well folks, the party is over. Now before you start getting all uptight on me, the party I’m referring to is the unforgettable, four-day baseball trip I just returned from with some buddies and NOT the Kansas City Royals season. Though, let’s face it, some of you already feel that’s over as well. Let’s talk about happy times, shall we? I could not make this trip without squeezing in some Royals coverage. So ...

GENEVA, Ill. -- Kane County Cougars second baseman Danny Mateo went 1-for-5 in Thursday’s series opener against the Fort Wayne TinCaps, but that one hit was a big one as his three-run triple keyed the Cougars to an 8-5 come-from-behind victory at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark. Mateo, who also turned in a nice defensive play in turning a double play in the ninth inning, stepped in the eighth inning with the base ...

  @ClintScoles Heading into last season it would have been a pretty simple proposition to line up an organizational depth chart at each position considering the Royals had the #1 farm system based primarily on the strength at the top.  A year later with the graduation of 9 different prospects the organization looks much different but despite that large number of graduations the farm system was still ra ...
