It has been seven years since Mike Moustakas played for the Wilmington Blue Rocks in the Class A Carolina League, but that isn’t preventing the Kansas City Royals’ affiliate from featuring Moustakas in an awesome giveaway later this season. The Blue Rocks will give away 1,250 Moustakas bobbleheads on Aug. 20. The bobbleheads in questions feature Moustakas’ head on the body of a moose with antlers coming out of his baseball cap. It’s a play on the last name of the Royals’ third baseman, whose nickname is Moose. Part Man. Part Moose. Full Awesome. The @Mooose_8 is Loose. #RoyalTreatment pic.twitter.com/UamohBcuou — Wilmington BlueRocks (@WilmBlueRocks) April 14, 2016 [ Rafael Palmiero still haunted by positive steroid test ] This is one of the better bobbleheads we’ve seen recently and should make collectors happy, at least those lucky enough to get their hands on one. Moustakas played for Wilmington in 2009 and was in the major leagues two years later. He played in his first All-Star game last season. He’s off to a .217/.280/.522 start to the season with four home runs and five RBI in 11 games.

Known for his volatile mound presence and blistering fastball, Yordano Ventura says there's something much different about him this year. Ventura is finally showing some confidence in his offspeed pitches, something the right-hander looks to continue Tuesday night when the Kansas City Royals open a six-game homestand with their first look at the AL Central rival Detroit Tigers. Ventura (0-0, 2.45 ERA) has picked up where he left off in 2015 when he went 7-1 with a 2.38 ERA with 81 strikeouts over his last 11 regular-season starts. Continue to Article
