KC Royals: Could Mike Moustakas Be Josh Donaldson?

Could KC Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas become Kansas City’s version of 2015 MVP Josh Donaldson?

Such an outcome isn’t as unlikely as most fans might think.

The Kansas City Royals drafted Mike Moustakas no. 2 overall in the 2007 draft. Moustakas dominated in the minor leagues, culminating with The Sporting News naming him Minor League Hitter Of The Year Award in 2010 after he hit 36 home runs in AA and AAA.

Moustakas, however, struggled through his first four year of major league baseball after getting called up in the middle of the 2011 season.
