I don't think so.

Seitzer's offensive philosophy has been hard up the middle and gap-to-gap. This is sound. I also think he's been a proponent of patience at the plate. In short, he's been an exemplary chicken-salad chef.

OBP, along with a lot of fundamental skills, cannot be taught at the ML level.

Want more scariness? Scroll down and listen to the Dayton Moore interview from 7/19. Patience, Royals fans. "The Process" is setting up a date of 2014-15. Sweet.

I agree with you on Seitzer. He's been good for the franchise.

Exactly, the trade deadline can't get here fast enough. It will actually be more exciting to see both of them up and playing, even if gordon is the same

When is the trade deadline?

Still would be wise to listen to all offers for Soria.

Who's Sean O'Sullivan? Angels can give us Brandon Wood to play SS

Angels Focused On Alberto Callaspo
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [July 20 at 4:35pm CST]

The Angels don’t have the resources to trade for a big-name slugger, so they have turned their attention to Alberto Callaspo. GM Tony Reagins is targeting the former Angels minor leaguer, according to Mark Saxon of ESPNLosAngeles.com.

Saxon reports that the Angels “are believed to have offered” Sean O'Sullivan and a fringe prospect for Callaspo, only to have Royals GM Dayton Moore turn the offer down. Callaspo, 27, has a .276/.310/.413 line this season and could play second or (more likely) third for the Angels.

Reagins considered pursuing Adam Dunn, but backed off when he realized that other teams only have “marginal interest” in the pitchers the Angels have in the upper minors. Top prospect Mike Trout is not going anywhere, though teams do have interest in him.

The Angels want something for nothing, simply put.

Callaspo's line this year is not good.

Yeah I think anyone would turn down that deal.

I looked up his minor league stats. Not interested at all, at least not for that. If thats the best we can do for Callaspo, I keep him and if I dont want to sign him long-term, I hope he qualifies as a Type-B free agent for the draft pick.

I am glad Moore is holding strong on getting good value for our players, something I don't feel like Baird did the best job of. However, I don't want to end up with them all still on the roster august 1st.

Any chance Elvis Lerew could die in a fire. WTF is this docuhe still in the fkg rotation?:cuss:
