Mike Sweeney Plans To Be At 2012 MLB All-Star Game In Kansas City

Jun 16 10:34p by Joel Thorman

A very familiar name to Royals fans plans to be in attendance at the 2012 MLB All-Star Game....probably not as a player though.

"My thought was, 'Well, chances are I won't be playing in 2012, but I'd like to be at that game,'" Mike Sweeney said by phone from Seattle.

Sweeney, now with the Mariners, said his teammates were very impressed with not just Kauffman Stadium but everything Kansas City has to offer.

"For many years I called Kansas City home and for it to be recognized for the All-Star Game, I'm already making plans for July 2012," he said.

"Hopefully, we'll see Zack Greinke or Billy Butler or Joakim Soria in the game. Or Mike Moustakas, you never know."

Ah, it's good to hear Sweeney's heart is still in the right place.
My respect for Sweeney has ballooned because he knows the name of one of our top prospects.

And the promptly watch A-Roid or another guy smash the windows in the HOF during the Home Run Derby.

Can you imagine, with the limited number of seats out there, how much THOSE seats will fetch for the HR Derby?

Royals fans, I've been thinking, which is dangerous...

Will having the 2012 All-Star Game cause us to be more proactive in FA and trades to ensure that we have a respectable product on the field in 2012? Will Glass be induced to spend even more to pursue the best talent?

Imagine the organization's embarrassment if the national spotlight has to shine upon an organization that has been flirting with a .400 winning percentage for years...

Or he's just banking on the guys in Double A coming up and being stars...and if they struggle we'll load up on the Milton Bradley's, Reggie Sanders', and Jose Guillen's of the game.

How did it work for the Pirates when PNC Park hosted the game?

No doubt that's a major part, but we'll have so many contracts off the books that I find it doubtful that we'll keep our ML payroll at ridiculously low records.

"Well...the Royals are struggling Joe. Lot of young players and a $25M payroll..."

That wouldn't play that well, I don't think.

Shut the **** up. Don't bring past history into this thread as evidence for future possibilities.

cool article from Rany today, mostly to express his irritation that Gordon and Ka'aihue are still in Omaha. He basically argues that if these two do still have something to learn about their swings, they wont ever learn against the pitchers they are currently dominating.

Quote:
And finally, like most Triple-A teams the O-Royals have a couple of veteran sluggers manning the 3-4 slots in their lineups. Unfortunately, neither one is a real prospect, as both of them are 36 years old.

No, wait, that’s a typo. They’re both 26 years old. Hmmm.

Let’s look a little closer then. One of them has a .385 OBP and a .526 SLG, the other one has a .402 OBP and a .513 SLG. Very good numbers for Triple-A, but I worry that their bats might be a little short to man left field and first base in the majors.

Oh, sorry – another typo. The left fielder doesn’t have a .385 OBP – he has a…wait, what?

A .485 OBP? And a .626 SLG?

The first baseman has a .502 OBP? A .613 SLG?

As Cartman would say, “Da F@!k?”
Quote:
In Gordon and Ka’aihue, the Royals have two of the three highest slugging averages in Triple-A, and two of the three best OBPs in the entire freaking minor leagues. Yet they wait. And wait. And wait.

They really need to make room for Gordon and Kila and get them up asap. I think it's a waste at this point, they will continue to shred that pitching
