Royals release minor-league rosters: Bubba Starling to repeat Class A

The Royals finalized their minor-league rosters on Wednesday. You can find them all here.

A few assignments of interest:

1. As The Star reported as a possibility in February, Bubba Starling will repeat Class A Wilmington. Starling, the team’s No. 1 pick in 2011, hit .218/.304/.338 for the Blue Rocks last season.

2. Lane Adams will begin the season in Class AA Northwest Arkansas. Adams posted a .779 OPS for the Naturals in 2014 and earned a call-up to the majors in September. But the outfield in Class AAA Omaha is crowded, thanks to the offseason additions of Reymond Fuentes and Moises Sierra.

3. Brett Eibner, who smacked six homers in spring training, will be the other starting outfielder in Omaha.

4. The Northwest Arkansas roster is loaded with good pitching: Brandon Finnegan, Miguel Almonte, Sam Selman, Reid Redman and Glenn Sparkman, among others. Sean Manaea should join the Naturals’ rotation, once his oblique strain heals.
