CAIN MORE THAN ABLE TO OPEN ‘17--Lorenzo Cain, the freshly turned 31-year old (his birthday was Friday), collected his fourth straight multi-hit game last night, singling in each of his first two at bats...it marked the 10th time in 11 games this year that he has been aboard at least twice via a hit or walk...his success calculates to a .511 on-base pct., which is tops among all qualifying American League hitters and third in the Majors behind Pittsburgh’s David Freese (.538) and Cincy’s Zack Cozart (.514)...LoCain has already coaxed 10 walks through the first 11 games and is just 27 freebies shy of his Major League best of 37 set in 2015. STARTERS AMONG MLB ELITE--Nate Karns continued Kansas City’s early-season trend of terrific starting pitching with 6.0 innings in which he allowed just one run in a no decision vs. the Angels last night...the remainder of the rotation that features Danny Duffy, Jason Vargas, Ian Kennedy and Jason Hammel has combined to post a Major League best 2.59 ERA through the first 11 games, allowing a big league low 19 earned runs and A.L. low four home runs. ACE 30 REMEMBERING YO--The morning of January 22, 2017 will always be remembered as one of the most tragic days in franchise history when word was received that pitcher Yordano Ventura had his life cut short due to a car accident in his native Dominican Republic...signed as a 17-year old in 2008, the fireballing right- hander compiled a 38-31 during his abbreviated Major League career...among many highlights, “Ace” will be most remembered for blanking the San Francisco Giants over 7.0 innings in Game #6 of the 2014 World Series to force a seventh and deciding game, while pitching with a heavy heart himself due to the untimely passing of his friend Oscar Tavares...to honor the late Ventura, all uniforms in 2017 will be adorned with the ACE 30 patch. TODAY’S STARTING PITCHERS: LHP Tyler Skaggs (0-1, 8.71) vs. RHP Ian Kennedy (0-2, 4.09) 2016 2015 Career 2017 2016 Career Tyler Skaggs vs. Royals 1-0 - 1-0 Major League Record 0-1 (8.71 ERA) 3-4 11-16 Ian Kennedy vs. Angels 0-2 - 0-4 Major League Record 0-2 (4.09 ERA) 11-11 86-81 IAN KENNEDY makes his third start of the year, seeking his first victory...it’s the 240th starting assignment of his career, 242nd all-time outing, while he’s facing the Angels for the sixth time (fifth start)...the 32-year-old righty is in the second season of a five-year deal he signed on January 29, 2016. ONE SWING SPOILS HOME OPENER--Ian incurred a tough-luck 2-0 loss Ian’s 2017 Starts to Oakland in the Royals’ home opener last Monday afternoon...he surrendered an DATE OPPONENT SCORE IP H R ER HR BB SO TP-K LEFT opposite field, two-run homer to Khris Davis in the fourth inning, which proved to be 4/5 at Minnesota L, 1-9 5.0 3 3 3 0 5 5 95-55 1-3 the only scoring...Kennedy scattered six hits with two walks and four strikeouts over 4/9 Oakland L, 0-2 6.0 6 2 2 1 2 4 99-61 0-2 2017 Totals 0-2 4.09 11.0 9 5 5 1 7 9 194-116 59.8% 6.0 innings, firing 99 pitches...Kennedy retired nine of the first 11 A’s he faced, before Career Totals 86-81 3.94 1441.1 1345 678 631 187 485 1333 - - Ryon Healy started the fourth with a single ahead of Davis’ two-run blast...the loss was Kennedy’s second-straight to open the year, just the second time in his career that he’s dropped consecutive decisions to start a season, also doing so in 2008, when he was 0-4 as a member of the Yankees. WORTH THE RISP--Kennedy continued his prowess with runners in scoring position Monday, holding Oakland hitless in three RISP at bats...last season, he yielded a .192 average (23-for-120) with RISP, good for fourth among qualifying A.L. pitchers...it was also the sixth-best mark in Royals history (min. 125 batters faced) and lowest since David Cone (.150) in 1994...over his last 13 starts (since last August 4), Kennedy has held opposing hitters to 9-for-59 (.153) with RISP. STARTING SOMETHING--Last season, Ian matched a career high with 33 starts, while it was his seventh consecutive season with 30 starts or more...he’s one of just five active Major League pitchers to make 30 starts or more in seven-straight campaigns, along with James Shields, Max Scherzer, Jon Lester and Cole Hamels, while his 227 starting assignments since 2010 are tied for third-most, trailing Shields (235) and Scherzer (230). EXTENDING THE STREAK--Kennedy collected four K’s last Monday vs. Oakland, extending his streak to 241 consecutive outings with at least one strikeout...it’s the second-longest active streak in the Majors, trailing only Boston’s David Price (253), who has yet to pitch in 2017...last season, Ian recorded 8.46 strikeouts-per-9.0 IP (184 K in 195.2 IP), the seventh-best mark in franchise history.

  • “The Royals of Sir Cedric” by Steve Treder of the Hardball Times December 21, 2004
    “The Royals of Sir Cedric” by Steve Treder of The Hardball Times December 21, 2004 At its inception, the most successful expansion franchise in pre-free agency baseball history didn’t impress many observers. The Kansas City Royals devoted most of their expansion draft picks to unproven young players, in distinct contrast to the approach taken by their companion A.L. expansion team, the Seattle Pilots. Take a look at the first ten choices of each club, noting each player’s age and major league experience as of the October 15, 1968 draft: Royals: Player Age ML Seasons ML Experience 1.
