This year’s Royals are enduring their fourth consecutive losing season, but there is light at the end of the tunnel with a solid crop of pitching prospects beginning to infiltrate the big leagues, and a dynamic trio of hitters on the verge of making their MLB debut. The Royals have been down this path before, building a top farm system, but having to wait for the group to make their way to the big leagues. In 2010, the Royals were on the verge of “flipping the switch” and going young, but the debut of young stars like Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, and Salvador Perez would still be a year away.
