In this week’s Hok Talk we discuss the fact that the Royals clearly understood that Adalberto Mondesí was not likely to play well for the entire season and then highlight the silver linings around the clouds that have surrounded the Royals’ early season play.
This is usually the part where I’d go over the whole sordid history of Adalberto Mondesí. That’s been done to death, I think. The tl;dr version is that for the Royals he was Bobby Witt Jr. before any of us had ever heard of Bobby Witt Jr but injuries and ineffectiveness prevented him from ever reaching the hype the Royals promoted about him.
