Kansas City Royals: Top 2010 Prospects

Homegrown Pitching is Almost Here

By waiting an extra year, Aaron Crow wound up back in the 2009 Draft, allowing his hometown Kansas City ballclub to select him after all. The big righthander should be a capable number two starter behind ace Zack Greinke by 2011. To complement that tandem, the Royals have a rich pool of hitters and pitchers in their minor league system, making the team a favorite dark horse bet to compete in the weak AL Central in the years to come.   

After a disappointing 2009 campaign, can onetime top prospect Mike Moustakas get back into the elite? Kansas City is betting he can.
