It's pretty standard for Royals fans to spend Spring Training looking for success stories among the young, up-and-comers. Guys who wouldn't draw any interest from other fanbases become hot topics of debate in Kansas City. I'm old enough to remember when the internet was awash with spilled ink and the blood of expectations because of one Johnny Giavotella. Johnny was never a top prospect*, even among the Royals. But fans demanded he be promoted with the zeal you might have more reasonably expected from Cubs fans when Kris Bryant was nearing his debut.
*It's a bit irrelevant to the story, but I can't not include that Johnny finally got his shot to start with a mediocre Angels team in 2015 and turned out not to have what it took to be a starter in the big leagues.
