#Royals designate OF Jeff Francoeur for assignment. Recall 2B Johnny Giavotella from Class AAA Omaha.

YO!!!!

Oh snap

That pinch hit was his sayonara eh?

About time.

Royal Rep Thread?

Finally

Fi-****ing-nally.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Hopefully Gio gets a fair shake at 2B (like the rest of the year) and we can acquire (Alex Rios?) a RF, or let Lough/Dyson/Cain handle the right 2/3rds of the OF for the rest of the year.

YES!

A Royals loss, and yet a happy day.

Our problems are solved!

Yes there is a God.

Thank goodness. It is about damn time. Great day in Royals history.

The signs had been pointing to this, but I wasn't sure it would really happen.

Wonder if Gio will platoon at 2B, be fulltime, or whether against LHP he'll go to LF, Gordo to RF and Tejada will play 2B.

Giavotella has played his way into this promotion. Hopefully he can stay now.
