MIKE MOUSTAKAS RUMORS
The Evolving Kansas City Royals: The Offense
For several years now the Kansas City Royals have had one of the better farm systems in Major League Baseball. Most teams should be so lucky. The Royals haven’t been able to translate this advantage into success on the field and there would seem to be one very good reason for this.

Injury becomes blessing for former SoCal star
ANAHEIM, Calif. There wasnt much denying the fact baseball was where Mike Moustakas bread was buttered. It was his ticket and just about everyone knew it in and around Chatsworth high school where Moustakas played his high school ball.
That ticket hadnt been punched yet when Moustakas, then a junior for the Chancellors, needed to rethink things.
In his addition to his exploits...

Mike Moustakas is finally Hitting
by John Viril—
Kansas City Royals 3B Mike Moustakas is finally heating up. After a horrid .152/.222/.197 start to 2013, Moustakas has hit .380 with 4 walks, 2 doubles and 1 HR in 25 plate appearances since April 28. More importantly, he’s solved his problem with infield popups. Moustakas hasn’t hit an infield fly ball since April 27.
The bottom line is he’s making solid contact...
Brett gives Moose some surprising advice
KANSAS CITY, Mo. When slumping Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas got to Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday, he figured he would just go through his normal pregame routine of stretching, taking infield and batting practice all the while trying to keep his chin up.
But then Moustakas got a surprise visit from Royals legend George Brett that not only changed his attitude, but may have...

What’s Wrong with Hosmer and Moustakas?
by John Viril—
1B Eric Hosmer and 3B Mike Moustakas were supposed to be the shining stars of a Kansas City Royals renaissance built around prospects. They came to Kansas City as top picks in successive drafts (Hosmer #3 2008, Moustakas #2 2007) and rose quickly through the minor league system. By 2010, they headlined a class of prospects that many considered the best collection...
Royals Breakout Players for 2013
by John Viril—
In this article I will look at Kansas City Royals players that I think are most likely to exceed prior levels of performance and provide more value than most fans and pundits expect.
In 2005, John Dewan published an interesting study that indicated that hitters who exceeded their career slugging percentage by more than .200 points during spring training showed a...
Royals' Mike Moustakas out yesterday after foul tip
Keep an eye on the lineup card for the Kansas City Royals today. Mike Moustakas was unable to play yesterday after fouling a ball off his foot. It could be a minor injury or it could be the type that lingers for far too long. If Moustakas returns today, it will be a good sign.

Player Profile #124: Mike Moustakas | 3B | KC
Mike Moustakas has a fantastic minor league resume, one that has always excited me from a fantasy perspective. It’s not often you find a young player who combines Moustakas’ home run power with his sub-20% strikeout rate.
It’s not been the smoothest transition to the big leagues, though. Hitting 20 homers in your age-23 season is nothing to scoff at, but Moustakas did that...
Mike Moustakas Taken Out By Security Guard
Kansas City Royal third baseman Mike Moustakas received a rude surprise while running down a foul ball at Oriole Park on Friday, as a Baltimore security guard bumped into Moustakas while attempting to get out of the way.
I remains to be seen if Moustakas or any Royal player could have gotten to the ball, however, there is no doubt that the reaction by the Royal color commentator...
“The Moose is Loose” Mike Moustakas Royals T-shirt
Hooray!
When I arrived home yesterday afternoon, I was pleasantly greeted with my brand new "The Moose is Loose" t-shirt waiting at my door.
I came across this shirt in a Twitpic (on Twitter, of course) last week, and I had to have one! I love the style. It is simple, yet creative... and features a Royals hitter batting over .300.
I had to wear it right away...
