**** you, you are partial to Japanese players just like the entire league is.

Initially, it was on Hillman. Once it was abundantly clear that Trey was ****ing stupid, the responsibility for protecting the investment went to Moore.

Ultimately, both are responsible.

Meche was stellar for two years. Bad thing is, we sucked. Meche wasn't a bad signing until he was ran into the ground. He had two career years...BUT there is no excuse to let him not get surgery or to get surgery. It really shouldn't be his choice, he should have something in his contract about that. It sounds like he could have had surgery last year and probably would have been fine towards the end of this year.

He's never really "made a difference" anywhere he's been. He's hit 20+ HR's a few times in his career, BFD. It was our front office's dumbass idea to give him that contract for such a mediocre player. Same w/ Gil Meche.

Slackers.

I don't think you want Pujols running 100% after he drives a hard ground ball to short that was fielded correctly. You have to play 100% smartly, not when it doesn't matter. If you play 100% all the time you are going to get Griffey'd and dive into a fucking wall or pull your back out of place 1,000,000 times like Mike Sweeney. Certainly you don't want to dog it like Guillen does when trying to reach home to score a run when Betamit is trying to stretch a double, but the point remains.

True to form, he lets us all down.

That is actually good to hear what he said about Kansas City.

after that first year when he called people babies and tried to go into the stands he really was pretty good. I wish he would have charged the mound or did something really crazy. We haven't had a guy try to go after a pitcher since sweeney

Why are people such assholes about this? I really don't get it. Not every member of this entire website constantly reads the Royals Repository thread. And even if they did, that thread is more for minor Royals news and chat. This groundbreakingly tremendous news definitely deserves its own thread.

Giants are 'discussing' Royals' Jose Guillen


Guillen
Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News reports that the Giants are "discussing" Royals outfielder Jose Guillen.
The struggling and overpaid Guillen was designated for assignment by Kansas City on Thursday afternoon after batting .255/.314/.429 over 396 at-bats and .151/.198/.260 after the All-Star break. He's a liability in the outfield and would not do well in San Francisco's spacious AT&T Park, but the Giants want to beef up their bench and Guillen at least boasts a hint of power. The Royals should part with him easily. Aug. 5 - 5:50 pm et

It's not just that. Even though he is leading this horrible offense in home runs and RBIs, he is still a terrible baseball player. He is unbelievably slow, he's not aggressive, he's lazy, he strikes out at least ten times a week, he's streaky (and 90% of the time he is on a cold streak rather than a hot streak), and obviously he's just a world-class douche.

ROFL

they lead the league in hitting!

That was on a very hot Sunday. Against the Sox, during a ZG start. I will never forget the look on his face. He's simply a stupid player. Blazing hot sun in the afternoon on Mercury type stupid. More to the point it's as if the stupidity of a thousand baseball universes collapsed and that entire dimension of stupid landed between his ears.

And Dayton Moore signed him. I'm not sure how to describe that kind of stupid.
