I pay attention to the Kansas City Royals minor league system like many of you. At the beginning of the year, on the official affiliates page, I noticed the Burlington Royals are listed above the Idaho Falls Chukars on the list. Looking around, I found no mention of it.
It is probably nothing more than a tech error. However, it’s a move that sure makes sense to me. I’ve always wondered why the Idaho Falls Chukars are on top of short season A Ball. Its a strange place to evaluate players who’s next stop would be the Lexington Legends.
