José Mijares. I had to look back a bit, it was actually in 2012. IIRC he was cut the day after the trading deadline and swooped up by San Fran. RoyalsCorner went ape**** at first. Mijares was only 27 and had a 2.56 ERA. Later it came out that he hated being on a "pretender like the Royals" and was a terrible influence for Alcides Escobar. It worked out for Mijares, as he ended up pitching in the playoffs for San Fran and scooped up a ring.

For a while, Dayton putting "team chemistry" as high as a priority as WAR was what caused him to be lambasted for this move as well as the Shields trade, but it's hard to argue with the results now. It also helped that he finally became willing to cut the talentless blackholes (Getz, Frenchy, Davies) that only brought grit and a locker room presence to the table.

I think we're gonna ride our top 3 as far as we can go this year. In all honest, Eddie would rank amongst the top tier 4's in the league. If Duffy, Ventura, and Kennedy continue to pitch like they have, this team will be in the mix come late September.
Yeah I'm even more skeptical because a starter will probably cost too much.

I could certainly see them trading for a reliever, and I think maybe they should. Just give up a low level prospect or cash considerations. Just try to fill the gap until Wade gets back. Even though the bullpen is doing well the last couple weeks. With Strahm's emergence we could have a pretty good bullpen when Davis gets back.

I think this may be the most important week of the season(clearly this could change if we're a few out in late Sept). The Royals take their scorching hot play on the road against two playoff contenders. There is very little room for error. 3-3 is the bare minimum this week. 2-4 or worse turns the narrative again. By this time next week, we will have a much more realistic view of whether or not this team is contender vs pretender.

That's a good point. Shore up the pen a little more and ride out our winning formula.

They're infectious like no other team I've seen. If any team could do this - It'd be your very own Kansas City Royals.

Ervin Santana could be one of those that could fit that, doubt it would happen though and I honestly have no idea what his contract situation is (too lazy to look right now).

Also, if Santana (or anyone) was put through waivers, a team could "block" the Royals essentially from trying to trade for him by putting a claim on him (or anyone they feel the Royals could be targeting).. resulting in the player's respective team to withdraw their waiver request.

2/27 remains on Ervin's deal.

Honestly I'd rather we get bit pieces and focus our money on locking up Danny.

I thought Hosmer was a team leader & he supported Valencia? Interesting.

Damn at this rate they'll be in the #2 wild card spot by September 1.

Well...

If Billy had stayed in any kind of shape at all, even if it was his 2013 shape, we likely roll to a title in 2014.

I will always appreciate his clutch hits in the WC, though.

Someone should start a prediction thread about the final Royals record & where they finish.

Hottest team in baseball. Pitching hasn't allowed more than 1 run in what, last 6 ? We're 9-1 last 10 and 3.5 out from WC.

World series again bitches !
