If you haven't come across these yet here's some reading material for you this fine Sunday morning.
- Eugene Tierney previews the Royals at 85% Sports. This also includes two cents contributed by yours truly.
- Daniel Shoptaw's Playing Pepper series rolls into Kansas City. Besides myself the roundtable included Brian McGannon, Matt Kelsey, Josh Duggan, Michael Engel, and Ray Wachter.
- Corey Ettinger profiles a prospect that seems to be getting overlooked lately, Johnny Giavotella.
- Aaron Stilley looks at the top rookies in Royals history.
- Jerry Crasnick believes that Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer are potential impact rookies.
- Alan Hirsch explains how Moneyball strikes out. He also wrote a book on the subject, now how he was able to do all that with a straight face I have no idea.

Jeff, would you like to assist me in writing a whole book with a subject matter I don't understand?
Even if Moneyball was completely about what misunderstanding people think it's about, you don't have to point at Beane's lack of World Championships. You can point at Weaver's World Championships. The things that sabr types try to "deny or rebel" are things that are simply luck. Not bad things, not things that don't count. Simply luck.
I won't write the book but I will mock it and vehemently disagree without reading one word.
Jeff Parker, the Joe Morgan for the post-modern world!
haha
Someone has to take up his mantle..
