Opening Series Reflections 
Posted on April 16, 2015 at 02:23 AM.
I must say, I have been baffled this weekend.

The Kansas City Royals have really turned it up a notch for the First series of the year; Sweeping the Series. 3 Starting pitching performances that went to at least 7 innings; two of which were near no-hitters. Ventura, Duffy and Volquez all look spectacular and I am excited to see where we are headed this season. Only two pitchers from the bullpen pitched across all 3 games (Holland and Herrera); Ned Yost would love to see that more often the rest of this season. It is not likely that you will see this all the way through the season, but it is a pleasant start. The offense was both good and bad, Gordon, Moose, Rios.... pretty much everyone except Cain and Morales swung the bat well. Morales did not log a hit in the 3 games but I am not too worried; it happens. It'll be likely that Morales will be out of the lineup at least once in the 3 games against the Angels. The bullpen looks ready to eat innings as the Big 3 all look strong (Herrera, Davis, Holland).

The Royals will take the stage tomorrow as they travel to Anaheim to take on the Los Angeles Angels,
Jason Vargas will take the hill against Hector Santiago.

Vargas who was moved back in the rotation in favor of Volquez is looking to have a good start to this season.

Minor League Report: Nothing yet, however we are on the eve of the beginning of the season. Kyle Zimmer will start the season in Double-A, it is not known if the Royals plan to put him on the 40 man roster.

Most Likely to get moved: At this point, I do not see anyone being actively put on the market for the near future. However, if Kris Medlen returns, it is most likely that someone in the rotation will be moved; all signs are pointing to Guthrie but time will tell.

That does it for my Royals Wrap up! I look forward to another great year of Royals Baseball,
