We’re celebrating one year of podcasting on Kings of Kauffman by helping host a @TweetupKC event at Kelly’s Westport Inn in Kansas City, Missouri.

You’re welcome to come and observe the first Royalman Report Fantasy Baseball draft which will start at 2 p.m. and continue until around 6 (or hopefully earlier). Following that, we’ll have a live broadcast from Kelly’s covering the latest in Royals information and continuing to look ahead to 2012. That broadcast should continue until about 8 p.m. and from there we’ll mingle with friends, fans and followers as we celebrate a fun first year of bringing listeners the Royalman Report via Kings of Kauffman.

Additional details on tonight’s event can be found on the event’s Facebook page.

The Royalman Report is brought to you by Kelly’s Westport Inn at 500 Westport Road in Kansas City, Missouri.  Tell them the Royalman Report sent you.

Jason Parks was kind enough to join the Royalman Report for discussion about the team’s performance through the first week of spring training games, including his impressions of  Bruce Chen, Bubba Starling and Mike Montgomery (among others). He’s not a fan of Chen’s and said that Bubba Starling might not have great odds to make the big leagues. How bad are those odds? Well, Jason explains.

You can follow Jason on Twitter at @ProfessorParks and read his work on Baseball Prospectus. If you’re interested in his first appearance on the podcast, that episode is archived for your listening enjoyment.

The Royalman Report, LIVE Sundays at 7 pm CST

Between Jeff Francoeur‘s contract extension and the chaos of the draft pick signing deadline, there was plenty to discuss in this week’s Royalman Report (brought to you by Kelly’s Westport Inn).

Troy was out of the studio so I took the reins and was joined by Chris Kamler – @fakenedyost to the Twitter-inclined.

We talked about the signing deadline and the makeup of the Royals minor leagues with Clint Scoles of Pine Tar Press focusing on the lower levels and international signings.

For previous listeners, you’ll notice a slight change in format, as we’ve scrapped music during the breaks in order to revisit past interviews with personalities from the Royals organization and other baseball folks.  This week, Troy’s interview with Billy Butler at the HyVee signing last week is included as well as a segment of his interview with Omaha’s announcer Mark Nasser.

Click the embedded player below to listen to this week’s show or you can download the mp3 here.
