I understand where people are coming from on the Guthrie thing. It's not a complete abomination, but still...

What are we realistically expecting from him? 5 innings of non-abortion baseball? OK, Odo probably gives you close to that. Doesn't cost additional money, which we can ostensibly bank for a FA run, and gets his feet wet for a real run at things in '13.

OK, now start laughing about the '13 run.

And now I want to throw up.

There is a group in town, that has deeper pockets than Glass, that is more successful at running pro franchises, that WANTS to buy the town. It's pretty clear those guys just want the phone to ring.

But it's all dependent on Glass making the right call for the team. And when has he ever done that? Track record is not good.

If they really want the team, they should be bugging the hell out of Glass then not wait for him to sell the team IMO.

today's Royals related query: Should I watch Monty and NWA or Odo and Omaha?

Just took the Royals to the playoffs in The Show after going on a tear in August...beat the Yanks in a one game playoff for the WC. Now I play the Angels who have just been murdering the ball...ugh.

Sad part is, I almost have no choice but to bring back Ned now...DAMNIT.

If only real life was like video games lol...

Any other GM would be moving heaven and earth to get that guy playing every day...ours is moving heaven and earth to find a way to NOT have him up playing every day.

What...a...joke...

It appears the angels have interest in Mijares. I wonder if we couldn't get some starting pitching help in a deal there.
Edit: If we could get Haren, and his back actually heals, and we reworked his deal...

Angels Interested In Mijares, Rzepczynski
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [July 24, 2012 at 1:02pm CST]
The Angels have expressed interest in Jose Mijares of the Royals and Marc Rzepczynski of the Cardinals in their search for a left-handed reliever, Mike DiGiovanna of the LA Times reports (Twitter links). The Angels could also have some interest in Joe Thatcher of the Padres, DiGiovanna suggests.

Mijares, 27, has a 1.72 ERA with 8.6 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in 36 2/3 innings with the Royals so far in 2012. The midseason trade candidate earns $925K this year and will be arbitration eligible following the season.

Rzepczynski was traded to the Cardinals last summer in the deal that sent Edwin Jackson to St. Louis. The 26-year-old has a 5.06 ERA with 6.2 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 in 32 innings this year. He'll be arbitration eligible for the first time following the 2012 season.

The Angels, who currently have left-handers Scott Downs and Hisanori Takahashi pitching out of the bullpen, are willing to offer Peter Bourjos in a trade for the right reliever. Here's MLBTR's preview of the trade market for left-handed relief.

I will return to this scenario...

Angels acquire Greinke via trade and decide to ship Danny Haren out to make some room for Greinke.

Haren is expensive and only has an extremely expensive team option for 2013 (one the Royals could afford, though).

Mijares could be a piece of that puzzle, though not the major piece.

Of course, it's far more likely that Mijares is moved for the rights to Ervin Santana. Which is not awful but not exciting, either. He's almost Saberhagen-esque in the way he Jekyll and Hydes back and forth. So he's due for a good year in 2013...

Billy will veto the trade since him and Santana hate each other
