Part Two of the epic clash between Jazayerli and Petro as they go head to head drafting their All-Time Royals Rosters.Rany Jazayerli (Co-Founder Baseball Prospectus/@Jazayerli) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) are picking from the best individual player seasons in Royals History.- What mistakes did the guys make?- How do the players of today compare to the players from the past?- Where did your favorite Royals player get drafted?- What top players didn't make the cut?- Which Royals seasons weren't good enough to make the cut?The Rules. Only one season of a player's career can be drafted. For example... if 2015 Lorenzo Cain is drafted, no other season of Cain's career can be selected. Also, no other player from the 2015 season can be drafted either. Jazayerli and Petro are each drafting a full 26-man roster, so there will be one player selected from 52 of the Royals 55 seasons.

The Royals celebrated the Kansas City career of Lorenzo Cain over the weekend with a contract-signing ceremony that allowed him to retire as Royal. On today's episode of SportsBeat KC, The Star's sports podcast, you'll hear from Cain about his KC career, with an emphasis on the 2014 and 2015 postseasons. The occasion got us wondering about who else might receive such a ceremony with the Royals, and/or eventually join the team's hall of fame. Manager Ned Yost will be the first from the group to enter the hall at a September ceremony. But who else? It's a little tricky for this reason: George Brett, Frank White, Amos Otis, Hal McRae and Willie Wilson played most of (or all of) their respective MLB careers in Kansas City. They're the franchise's top-five players in games played. Cain tweet The second championship stretch for the Royals was populated with players who spent eight or fewer seasons with the Royals: Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Alcides Escobar, Wade Davis and Greg Holland, among others. But player movement is more common now and should be taken into account when considering such an honor. Besides, there are Hall of Fame players from the earlier era who weren't Royals lifers (for instance, John Mayberry spent just six of his 15 big-league seasons in Kansas City). Our list of players from the 2014-15 era who should enter the Royals Hall of Fame includes Salvador Perez, Alex Gordon, Cain, Hosmer, Moustakas, Escobar, Kelvin Herrera, Davis and Holland. Maybe the HDH bullpen enters as a trio. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
A brutal 1-5 road trip has brought the Brewers back down to earth, and issues on both sides of the ball are starting to crystallize (even though the rest of the division is no better). Is this really the version of the pitching staff the Brewers will be riding all year? What's up with Corbin Burnes? Jesse Winker? Luke Voit? Brewers beat reporter Todd Rosiak and host JR Radcliffe discuss Milwaukee's maladies, though the team got healthier this week with the returns of Tyrone Taylor and Adrian Houser. It was a week that featured another Craig Counsell ejection, a milestone homer for Willy Adames, still more issues against left-handed pitchers, racing sausages for sale and more. Remembrew When looks back at a recent Lorenzo Cain moment (for better and for worse) and Todd offers a rosy outlook for one of Milwaukee's youngest players.
