Breaking News in Kc!

This just in from Joel Goldberg this morning, Players to watch out for this season are Jake Odorizzi, and Salvador Perez. Honestly, I`m not to stunned by this. Jake Odorizzi, who came to the Royals in the Greinke trade with the Brewers, is showing great potential in double A ball with the Naturals and will probably be with Triple A Omaha a month or 2 into the season. If he does well there, the Royals could be looking at a new starter by the All-Star break, Right now Odorizzi just came off a 10-7 record and an ERA of 3.75 in 147 innings pitched. Thats not bad at all. This youngster, at 21 years old, has Great control of the ball, and a very smooth pitching motion. If he stays consistent, you may see him in a Royals uniform sometime after the All-Star break.

Now to Perez. Yes, he is injured right now, but If you thing Yadi Molina is good? Psh, think again, Perez has A rocket arm wit great accuracy and not to mention his reaction time after catching the pitch is .8 seconds. Yes, after the pitch is in his glove, it only takes him .8 seconds to get up and be in throwing position. that is a great Acquisition for a catcher, which is why the Royals were very high on him. That and the fact he bats over .300. Then when he got injured, the catcher Position was in danger. they went out and got Quintero to complement Pena. So they royals are looking forward to having him back after the All-Star break as well. 

So when all is said and done, if the Royals can stay contenders with great offense and good fielding. they could possibly stay in contention for the Playoffs this season and they will be ready for the return of Perez. Opening day is tomorrow. I can't wait. Go Royals!
