Kansas City Royals Preliminary Prospect List for 2013

Here's the working list for Royals prospects. There are 43 guys here who have gotten past the initial scouting and sabermetric screen. I need to cut that back to 40 if possible. The Braves and Twins had more but I'm going to have to go back and cut some of those comments for space reasons. I have to get more ruthless about cutting marginal types. I have to pick the speed up and space is always a concern. As always, comments and suggestions welcome.
