It will be interesting to see what the Royals do if both Paulino and Duffy come on strong. I could see a scenario where they pitch Paulino this year and let him replace a faltering starter and send Duffy to AAA on a "rehab assignment" to preserve a year of his mlb service time.

You're still confused. Read the post again.

I could read it 1000 times but that won't make it any less reeruned. Sorry.

I agree, you could probably read it 1,000 times and still not get it. Nobody called for him to be "benched", and I'm not certain you know what that word even means.

Not exactly lighting up AAA. He's still a strikeout machine, with 31 in 94 ab. A 1/3 strikeout rate in AAA is not a good sign and it lends credence to the Royals' scouts who privately expressed concern he wouldnt be able to hit consistently in the Majors. More ominous is his insane BABIP of .403. So his numbers are probably even more inflated than they show which is .298-3-17.

Platooning him with George Kottaras would effectively put him where exactly? The bench. Unless Salvy can play defense and Kottaras can hit against "tough rigthies", we won't be seeing a platoon this year, dumbass.

Wow, another postponed game?

I guess they won't ever have a day off the back half of the season?

Looking at the Phillies fire sale (lol), Cliff Lee would be tempting as hell if the price was right. His salary is crazy but damn a stud lefty to the rotation would be nice. Also he is from Arkansas, so KC wouldn't freak him out. But back to dream world.

Its made up on Monday.

The New K downtown will have rolling roof and access to the thriving power and light.

A 2B/RF is definitely who we need to be searching for over the deadline.

Who are our expendable trading chips lying the in minors right now?

Chase Utley & Giancarlo Stanton?

Well, I'm unsure if we'll fill both of those positions (I have a unsettling feeling that Dayton considers Frenchy to be a vital piece to this franchise) but Utley (if he stays healthy) would be a sexy get if we can swing it.

Lee was put on waivers last August, but nobody was willing to swallow the $88million bullett he's owed the next three seasons. There's no way Glass would even entertain such a thought nor should he. There's also the troubling part of him having veto rights to 70% of the MLB teams via trade. Not sure if we'd make that cut either.
