<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.royalsreview.com/">Kansas City Royals</a> AA club, Wilmington Blue Rocks, are piling up some significant talent.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/rankings/league-top-20-prospects/2010/2610745.html">Baseball America </a>has compiled their top 20 prospect rankings for the Carolina League.</p>
<p>It's safe to say the folks at Baseball American (and all around MLB) like the Royals minor league talent.</p>
<p>Here are the top three:</p>
<p>1. Julio Teheran, rhp, Myrtle Beach Pelicans (<a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.talkingchop.com/">Braves</a>)<br> <b>2. Eric Hosmer, 1b, Wilmington Blue Rocks (Royals)<br> 3. John Lamb, lhp, Wilmington Blue Rocks (Royals)</b></p>
<p>Baseball America says managers and scouts were nearly unanimous with these three as the top prospects.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Those top three are as good as you'll find, and I really like Hosmer," Salem manager Kevin Boles said. "There are some high-end prospects in the league this year."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Royals aren't just top heavy in these rankings. They also have a nice amount of players scattered throughout the top 10:</p>
<p><b>4. Wil Myers, c, Wilmington Blue Rocks (Royals)</b><br> 5. <span>Devin Mesoraco</span>, c, Lynchburg Hillcats (<a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.redreporter.com/">Reds</a>)<br> 6. Randall Delgado, rhp, Myrtle Beach Pelicans (Braves)<br><b> 7. Chris Dwyer, lhp, Wilmington Blue Rocks (Royals)</b><br> 8. <span>Oscar Tejeda</span>, 2b, Salem <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.overthemonster.com/">Red Sox</a><br><b> 9. Christian Colon, ss, Wilmington Blue Rocks (Royals)</b></p>
<p>Colon was the Royals first round pick in the 2010 MLB draft.</p>
<p>The rest of MLB has certainly noticed the Royals talent. Around the trade deadline, multiple teams referenced the Royals impressive load of talent in the minor leagues.</p>
