The Royals took Vinnie in the 11th round and made a top-100 prospect out of him. Michael Massey in the 4th and he’s maybe the 2B of the future. Kyle Isbel in the 3rd and he’s a big league OF. They’re playing handicapped. Imagine if they drafted college bats in the first round! https://t.co/EHMqrzv2B5

Michael Massey of @Royals even hotter in first 12 games at Triple-A (1.001 OPS, 2 HR, 1 SB) than 54 games at Double-A (.854 OPS, 9 HR, 9 SB); 24-year-old 2B jumps up 35 spots in our updated #FantasyBaseball Top 500 Prospect Rankings: https://t.co/PdAXQONuuK

Michael Massey continues to stay hot in AAA today. 2 for 3 with two 2Bs and 2 RBIs. Both of off one of the Guardians top pitching prospects, Peyton Battenfield. Massey's organizational ranks: 2Bs (2nd) HRs (2nd) RBI (2nd) The Royals have themselves another gem. #TogetherRoyal

So anyway. Whit Merrifield is pretty much all the way back. He’s playing all the positions, stealing bases, hitting like a lead off hitter…he’s also under contract through next season and the Royals recently promoted Michael Massey to AAA Omaha.

Michael Massey getting the attention he deserves! I covered him in my under-the-radar Royals prospects series last year for @RoyalsFarm. High contact rates, ability to barrel up pitches w/ his elite defense gives him the profile of a MLB regular at 2B. ➡️ https://t.co/bzyM3eo0Dk https://t.co/9GOzf6IQVA

Michael Massey is the correct answer. The 2B for the KC Royals AA affiliate won a Rawlings Gold Glove at the position last season. Since 4.22.22 (56 AB; 66 PA) .410/.455/.768 5 HR (45 HR/600 PA) 5 doubles 21 RBI (191/600 PA) 12 Runs & a stolen base in a pear tree. https://t.co/yWojr5y52v

—Fantasy Baseball Alerts 4/4/2022

If he gets off to a hot start in Double-A this year, I can see Michael Massey being the next Royals prospect to take off in ranks. Strong contact skills with well-above average feel for the strike zone. Improved power. Solid tools across the board offensively and defensively.

—Jared Perkins 3/26/2022

@RoyalsFarm @GeoffPontesBA @mdthompFWFB The question should have been: Michael Massey; star MLB player, or superstar MLB player. Why would we think Massey is not the Royals 2B of the future?

This is the kind of play that helped Michael Massey win the MiLB Gold Glove at 2B last year. (Hitter was Vinnie Pasquantino, pitcher was Zach Willeman, who came to the #Royals for Danny Duffy last season) https://t.co/fQSH4aq8uk

Sounds like Colon is headed to Northwest Arkansas (AA) next year. Should be a rather meaningful stop, as some of the Royals best infield prospects figure to start the year at NWA next year. Maikel Garcia, Michael Massey, Nick Loftin, Nate Eaton…pretty cool deal. https://t.co/8QdjxHCDTt
