Royals Prospects Make a Few BA Top 20 Lists

On September 23rd, Baseball America started releasing its Top 20 Prospect Lists for each league in the minors.  Below you will find links to each list.  If you are a BA subscriber, you can click on the link at the beginning of each league’s write-up to read scouting report on each player in the top 20.  I also recommend checking out the chats that are done on the same day as the list for each league.  The Royals do not have teams in all of these leagues, obviously, but I think it is important to keep tabs on prospects in other organizations so I’m including links to them all.  Enjoy!

Today should be a double post day. Last night I got caught up in the Nebraska/Missouri football game and fell asleep at some point during the second half. Not the greatest excuse for not publishing something, but I was tired …
