Who Wants a Moust-ache Ride?



If you haven't heard yet, Mike Moustakas (and his mean face, see above)  has been called up and made his major league debut for the KC Royals last week. I am loving how the Royals are giving their top prospects (Hosmer, Mr. Mustache) a chance to break into the majors instead of leaving them to crush minor league pitching. It almost looks as if they are trying to make the playoffs....playoffs?



I can't call him Moose because that name will always belong to Mr. Class Mike Mussina. But, I can call him Mr. Mustache, that's more fun anyways. 



This guy is extremely talented, he hails from Cali where he hit 52 Ding-Dongs in his high school career, A California Prep Record. He was drafted 2nd overall in 2007, and was given a whopping $4 million signing bonus. With Mr. Mustache, Alex Gordon, and Eric Hosmer, the Royals actually have a solid core to their lineup, and if they can stay away from trading the talent, could be in the pennant race for the next 10 years. 

The Word: If you have the roster spot, grab him. He won't be as successful as other call-ups Hosmer and Rizzo (SD), but if I'm wrong, in my face....
