This is the time of year when I start missing baseball. The holidays have come and gone, March Madness is still a ways off, and going outside is often not an option for more than a few minutes at a time. We do not have a lot of projections yet to go off of, but I was poking around in the Steamer data and noticed two Royals projections that a lot of casual fans would be surprised by, MJ Melendez and Nelson Velazquez.
MJ Melendez has only had one season that you can point to and say that he has star potential, and it was a minor league season.
