Don't forget about the grit!

With an impressive .313 OBP!



Rany is obliterating the Royals right now.

Well.......bye Dayton

You know, if they had sent Gio down so as to play Ciriaco at 2B, it still would've been stupid based on Gio's 38 PA's. But at least they would be turning toward someone new.

But Getz? GETZ?

So then just cut Gio?

if they are doing this then they must be just done with him.


no future with Getz

Getz has pics of Dayton or Glass....right?


It has to be....

This is just rearranging deck chairs and they didn't even give Gio a chance this time... but at the same time I think the reaction is more anti-Getz than anything. I don't think Gio has done anything at any level to really prove he's any better than Getz. Which is strange because Gio has been decent at taking walks in the minors... at the major league level he's been worse than Francoeur. It's like he's a different player.

By the way, if you really want to gouge your eyes out, there's a one hour special about Hawk Harrelson on MLB Network right now.

It's like he knows he has 10 games to prove he is George Brett or he will be sent down so some sack of shit no talent ****wad can steal at bats and not play defense.

I don't have the stats up so I might be slightly off, but he's played about 50 games each of the last couple years. I agree it's not a massive sample size. I'm not saying this is a good move. But he's played about 100 games at the MLB level and hasn't shown he's anything more than a younger Getz with slightly more power and less walks.

Maybe being the Marlins doesn't look so bad now.

I'll say this.....if the Royals are having problems developing Moose, Hosmer and other top picks, what makes anyone think they could develop Gio?

None of that matters... Getz is Daytons boy. Getz is a lifelong Royal now. He will be the starting second baseman as long as DM is the GM. Today's move proves it.

Gio just turned 26... he's a little bit older than those other guys. So he may just been entering his prime, but he is probably running out of time here.

At least Getzy has cool walk-up music.
