After a couple weeks off for the holidays, the Vault is back.And during that break, the Royals signed Terrance Gore. We discuss the Royals focus on adding team speed and his likely role within the organization. While we're hesitant to say that he will play much of a role, he's definitely got speed, as we've seen ourselves over the years.The Royals also acquired two players during the Rule 5 draft, selecting Sam McWilliams out of Tampa Bay's organization and trading for Chris Ellis (drafted by Texas in the Rule 5 draft out of the St. Louis Cardinals organization). Both hope to follow in the footsteps of last year's breakout Rule 5 pick Brad Keller, and the Royals have innings to spare.We also took a look at the list of Royals Hall of Fame candidates who are on the ballot. There are some significant names this year, including Bo Jackson and Johnny Damon, but we also discussed the legacy of David DeJesus and the what if of Yordano Ventura as candidates.

With Retro Night coming up this weekend, we dipped into the archives to bring you three interviews with some former Kansas City Royals.First, we talked with Buddy Biancalana, shortstop for the 1985 World Series championship team. He talked about getting into the zone, using fear as a motivator, and his World Series experience.Then, we talked with Greg Pryor, also from that 1985 team. He talked about the memorable experience of Game 6 and winning Game 7, his favorite coaches throughout the years, and some wild baseball days he was a part of, like Disco Demolition Night, and the Pine Tar Game.Finally, we talked with Royals Hall of Famer Freddie Patek. Patek discussed the seasons he enjoyed most, making it as a smaller player, grooming Frank White, and playing tough all the time.Note: These interviews were recorded in the summer of 2012. Which makes one of Patek's responses very interesting.Follow the Vault at @KCBaseballVault. Follow host Jeff Herr at @TheJeffReport, co-host Michael Engel at @michaelengel.

This week Royalman Troy Olsen joined Mike to talk about the offseason and general impressions, the Royals payroll surpassing $100 million, and what Jarrod Dyson might bring in a trade (and if there's a viable replacement in the system if something might happen). We also discussed Brandon Finnegan's future and how he might fit as a starter or reliever.After a break, we then discussed the Royals Hall of Fame candidates, including Gil Meche, Kevin Seitzer, Mike Sweeney, and the phenomenal Bo Jackson.

This week the Kansas City Baseball Vault welcomed back Sam Mellinger of the Kansas City Star who talked about the Royals and their response to pressure after reaching (and falling out of) first place. He discussed the offensive struggles of Eric Hosmer and how he should be moved down, as well as the Royals front office's approach to praise and criticism. Mellinger also talked about his newest project, "The Art of Scouting", a book by he and Art Stewart, Royals Hall of Famer and longtime scout. That book is due out in July.After Sam went to go cover the game, Jeff and Mike talked about Hosmer some more and some of the factors that might have Ned Yost keeping him in the #3 spot. They also talked about lineup construction and its importance (or perhaps lack thereof) and looked at some alternative batting orders.Be sure to stop by Kelly's Westport Inn if you're in the KC area, and if you're looking to find great baseball stats in one place, Baseball-Reference.com and the Baseball-Reference Play Index are the best places to go.

The regular season can't get here soon enough. While the Royals cruise through spring training, we covered a few of the remaining battles while also discussing the final second base decision to keep Chris Getz over Johnny Giavotella. We also talked a bit goings-on in Omaha and brought up the idea of a platoon (or replacement) for Jeff Francoeur and tossed out an idea of trading for David DeJesus. Most of our time this week, however, was spent talking with Curt Nelson, director of the Royals Hall of Fame. We talked about his vision for the exhibits and artifacts within the Hall of Fame and what he tries to present to those who visit the stadium and want to dive into the history of the franchise. Of course, we also had to bring up the question of "How does Emil Brown end up eligible for the Royals Hall of Fame?" Curt walked us through the process of nomination and how they've revamped the voting to include fan votes and we looked at a few specific cases on the current eligible ballot as well as other names from the past that may be revisited. It's interesting stuff to think about, especially as other players like Mike Sweeney, Johnny Damon and Carlos Beltran are nearing eligibility for the team honor.
The Kansas City Baseball Vault has always been dedicated to bringing you the best from the past, the present and the future. Tonight we had all three in the same show. We started off the show walking about the recently resurgent Royals, but has anyone noticed? Next we talked with 3-Time All-Star and Royals Hall of Famer, Short Stop Freddie Patek. We talked with him about the best Royals teams in history, what it was like to play for Mr. K and what he'd do to fix the current Royals. Next we talked with a future Royals outfielder, David Lough of the Omaha Stormchasers about what it's like to have a Magic Number, what it's going to take to break into the Kansas City outfield and how lounging by the pool makes up a day off. Finally we talked to Lough's roommate, Stormchasers Second Baseman Johnny Giavotella who has also spent time in Kansas City this season. We talked about what he's working on, what he's attributing his offensive success to and what he's doing to get better defensively. There you go, the best of the past, the present and the future, every week on the Kansas City Baseball Vault. Join us each week on ESPN 1510 am, Thursday's at 6pm.
