This week on Drop the Ball, the Royals are playing some ball! Winners in 5 of their last 6, some of the new additions are paying huge dividends on this ball club. Mike Yastrzemski has stepped up as a leadoff hitter as India succeeds lower in the lineup.  We discuss Maikel taking a huge step forward and now this Royals rotation has more depth than ever? There’s a new Top 30 by MLB pipeline, so we discuss what’s there and how Matt thinks this team is shaping up a young core for the new stadium. Jackson went to Ichiro’s jersey retirement and reports back from there. Then we end it with America’s favorite segment: Drop the Ball!
