I'd rather have Manny Mota.........

I've got to concentrate...concentrate... concentrate... I've got to concentrate... concentrate... concentrate... Hello?... hello... hello... Echo... echo... echo... Pinch hitting for Pedro Borbon... Manny Mota... Mota... Mota...

He was good back in 2003-2004. Outside of that, he's been meh or Bad the rest of his 14 seasons (did I mention that he's 40 years old?)

His career ERA is 3.94 as a primarily National League Reliever. You take out his 2 best seasons (2003 and 2004) and look at his numbers over the other 12 years - again as a primarily National League Relief pitcher - he is a career 4.38 ERA guy... That ain't good.

To put that in perspective.. Kelvin Herrera who was our most inconsistent and worst Relief pitcher for most of the season last year posted a 3.86 ERA (better than Mota's career averages)... and this was in the American League.

I should also point out that Brad Penny wears affliction clothes. blah.

Question brought up on 610 earlier....

If the Royals are 10 games out near the trade deadline do they trade shields to get prospects? Danny and Cdot thought he's here all season regardless

It depends on what's on the table. If we got offered a haul similar to what the Brewers got for Greinke a couple seasons ago, it would be foolish for us not to listen.

If that happens I imagine Dayton is out the door and things get chaotic behind the scenes.

The Royals should probably listen, but I really doubt DM does that, he needs 2014 to be successful, or there might not be a 2015 for him.

I'm hope Glass gives Dayton the ultimatum. make the playoffs in 2014 or else.......


I think 8 years is plenty of time. No more excuses.

That can have a detrimental long term effect to the franchise... I would like to think Glass is smart enough to not do something like that.

seriously?????

8 freaking years is long enough. He doesnt deserve anymore time if he cant get it done by then. Hes lucky hes gotten this long.

It's not about getting rid of him... it's about the ultimatum... meaning Dayton would make selfish moves that could hurt the franchise long term to gain 2-3 more wins and save his job.

I would hate it if for all for Wil Myers is that we got 2 seasons above .500 and no playoff birth and a draft choice. Woof

Royals hot stove on 610 right now with Denny and Ryan w/ Dayton and Ned as guests coming up

few notes..

Brad Penny's minor lge deal with #Royals pays him $1M if makes majors, $1.5M available in GS/IP bonuses. Can opt out 4/2 if not in MLB

#Royals avoid arbitration with Tim Collins, sign him for $1,362,500
