Royals on the Farm 8/18
 
AAA - Omaha: rainout *** Omaha is 54-75. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader to wrap up the Oklahoma series today. After KC signed retread P Kip Wells today, I assume Jeff Fulchino or Joel Peralta (nope, I guess it's Josh Newman) will be headed back to Omaha soon. Probable game 1 starters today: RH Brandon Duckworth (4-11, 4.93) vs. RedHawks RH Luis Mendoza (2-2, 5.04); and ...

Royals on the Farm 8/17
 
NOTE: The Royals ended up bookending the draft, as the last week of signing also resulted in KC signing 50th round HS C Travis Jones out of Tucson, Ariz. KC ended up signing 26 of its top 30, which is pretty good, plus spent the most of any team on draft bonuses.

Royals on the Farm 8/15 -- Hosmer signs
 
August 15, 2008, could be a landmark day in Royals history if Tim Melville and Eric Hosmer turn out to be as good as some think they will be. After signing Melville early on deadline day, Hosmer signed with time dwindling, a Boras specialty, and both are now in camp and ready to begin what is hopefully a smooth and successful climb to the majors. Both are supposed to report to the AZL and ...

Royals on the Farm 8/14 -- Melville signs
 
The big news today among Royals of the future, at least at this point, until hopefully the Hosmer signing comes through, is the signing of 4th rounder righty and Missouri native Tim Melville, who was reportedly headed for the U of North Carolina unless he got big bucks, which I'm sure the Royals probably gave him. So, for a change, the Royals drafted first-round talent (he was the AFLAC 2007 ...
