ChiefsPlanet - Royals 2013 Kansas City Royals Repository Thread

Didn't we used to have some monstrous black guy who crushed 500 foot bombs 1% of the time but sucked the other 99%? I feel like he had three names and came from the Reds...

Calvin Pickering?

I'm enjoying this trip down memory lane.

How about "best season by a Royal that nobody remembers"? I'll nominate Dean Palmer 1998. .278/34/119

Jefferies wasn't washed up. He hit .342 the year after we traded him, .325 the year after that.

I loved Mike McDougle...Rusty Meachem, too.

Bob Hamelin was awesome.

Depends on how you define it.

Many of these guys were just playing out the string here. Others went on to play better elsewhere once they left here (Like Jeffries and Stairs). Hell, look at what Raul Ibanez did after he left KC.

All of these guys on the list had their best years elsewhere, that's for sure.
