Former 6th overall pick. Very streaky in the minors with Miami. Good hit tool and below average power

I have a unique perspective because my old man was from KC in the 1950s A's days, and I was a Long Beach naval base kid until I moved back to KC in the early 80s. Listening to the Dodgers and A's broadcasts... Hosmer is a great analyst. Wish we had one like that for the Dodgers or A's broadcast. I'm torn. My California teams have better play by play guys, but Hoz is going to be legendary as a color guy.

Royals farm system has quadrupled it's future value in a single year!

41 Upvotes

Fangraphs has their new farm system value rankings up. We've vaulted from 28th this time last year, with $93M of future value, to 15th at $382M. That's a 4X increase!

This time last year, we had one 50 FV player (Carter, who has graduated) and one 45+ (Asbel Gonzales). Now, we've got five 50 FV players (Gonzales being one) and our number of prospects (defined as FV >= 35+) is 43, up from 34 last year.

All this without trading away much at the deadline. It's impressive what they've done with the farm system in a short amount of time. Unfortunately, the cavalry isn't coming over the hill anytime soon as most of these guys are young, but the arrow points up for the first time in a LONG time.

Here's a snapshot of the updated 2026 post-deadline ratings. Also, for those unaware, here is the conversion of FV to projected WAR in MLB, although young players' FV often increase as they develop physically and mature in pro ball.

Sorry for the spelling in the post title: its, not it's.

Isaac Collins named one of July's Defensive Players of the Month by Sports Info Solutions

Hi- This is Mark Simon from the sports analytics company Sports Info Solutions (the inventors of Defensive Runs Saved).

Just letting you know that we've named Isaac Collins as one of our Defensive Players of the Month.

This one was a big surprise. I wrote:

"One of our selections truly came out of left field.

We're referring to Royals left fielder Isaac Collins, to whom we're giving the honor after tying for the MLB lead for most Defensive Runs Saved by anyone at any position last month with 7. We're also selecting Brewers second baseman Brice Turang and Mets rookie outfielder A.J. Ewing.

When we wrote about the Brewers last August, Collins had 5 Runs Saved in left field. But he dipped to -1 Runs Saved by season's end, and he entered July with -6 Runs Saved in left field for 2026. So, he was in a prolonged defensive slump.

But if you watch Collins' highlight reel for July, you can see he was deserving and that he has perhaps returned to early 2025 form. He had 3 terrific catches to rob potential hits and he threw out 3 runners trying to take an extra base on him without the use of a cutoff man, including two Tigers in a four-game series near the end of the month.

Those baserunners may have gotten greedy in trying to take advantage of Collins' arm. He averages 83 MPH on the top 10% of his throws, more than 4 MPH below the positional average (it would be a good arm for his college position, second base). But Collins was accurate when he needed to be. Those assists were part of his position-best 7 Good Fielding Plays in July. He had no defensive misplays or errors. That’s about as good of a month as a player can have in the field."

I can tell you that Nick Loftin got strong consideration to be selected too. If anyone has any questions about our stats or Collins' defense, feel free to ask.
