"You can thank my favorite team for James Shields. This is going to sound off, and it has nothing to do with how he's pitching right now, but I really wish the Rays would have traded David Price instead of James Shields.

I know they're completely different pitchers, but James is a great leader and really has a knack for creating a brotherhood amongst the pitching staff. He's also an innings eater. It's no wonder Tampa Bay's bullpen has been overused and under-performing. No one could have predicted David Price was going to slump so badly this year. Under contract through 2015 (arbitration eligible in '14 and '15), the Rays could have robbed someone's farm system. As for our end of the Shields/Davis/Johnson trade...it sounds like the Rays will have Will Myers finish his career in Durham. They're so slow to promote position players. All I hear is that "he's not ready"."

I've never wavered in my fandom, but I do admit that I was hoping we'd trade Santana. I'm glad I was wrong.

Yes, though every now and then I enter into DC to see what muck is being slung around, so I don't want to just ignore every post by some people, just posts outside of DC.
Anyway, back to Royals!

If we can just finish the season playing .600 to .630 ball, we'll be in good shape

Aaron Crow is 7-3 with a sub 2 ERA. I didn't realize his numbers were that good. His peripherals aren't great, but that's an impressive line.

He has a 2.95 ERA.
