Don't worry if we get the chance to draft him he'll re-enter anyway

8-3 royals domination, looks like zack finally should get a W, the run support he's getting over the past 9 starts should jump up to just above 2 runs a game now

I have never seen a team that is so terrible with men left on base. And it's not like you can practice that, or teach it. This team is just terrible under pressure.

Soria giving up 2 hrs in the 9th wtf

12-5 royals now

Wow soria really pissed at himself....i have never seen that

soria giving up 3 runs in he 9th....12-6 now royals 2 outs

Soria disgusted with himself after he finally ends the game with a K

gotta love to see the mexicutioner have the fire...

Glad the royals dominated tonight with it being armed forces night at the K

...and the Royals match their highest run total of the season. Cube was right: today was a good day.

Soria didnt pitch FOR SIX DAYS. Thats an eternity for a relief pitcher. I do not blame Soria for those 2 HRs and 3 ER, I blame Hillman for not pitching him for 6 days. What do you expect?

Oh and Billy Butler is becoming a STUD. He's now batting .300, 36 doubles which is 2nd in the majors, 13 HRs and 57 RBI. He could potentially get to 50 doubles and 20 HRs this year and bat over .300. 20 HRs at the age of 23 is damn impressive, also considering people complain about his power numbers. Some of those doubles would be HRs in most parks.

Expect a delay in the potential signing of Aaron Crow. The Royals have offered $3M, but, according to Petro, Crow's agents are asking for...$12M. LMAO.

Obviously, lots could happen over the weekend, but Crow is not limited to the midnight deadline on the 17th, so he could continue to posture. I can't imagine someone sitting out 2 years, but, whatever.

Honestly, I could care less. Like a lot of Dayton's other first-round selections, I think this pick was a mistake.

I think I heard that we've spent 11 million on this years draft, which is a MLB record. Correct me if I'm wrong.

And Rany said the pitchers we got in the rounds 2-4 were each 1st round talent.

Do we get an extra pick next year if we don't get him signed?

He can wait until a week or so before the 2010 draft.....Crow won't sit out again, it would be career suicide.

Yep.

Original slot + one. I believe Crow was the #12 overall, right? So we'd have the #13 next year, in addition to pick #1-3, depending upon how effectively we continue to suck.

Our luck, we'll sweep the final series and miss out on Harper (assuming DM would be smart enough to take the position player, which I doubt, so the point is moot...).
