2010 Kansas City Royals Repository thread
 

All Royals All The Time!

After consultation with others who peruse the game threads we decided to create this as a repository for all things Royals. Minor league news, AL (ahem) Central (thanks Vonne) news and anything Royals can be found here.

alnorth, me and atleast 5 others will continue the game threads as usual. But if you locate something of interest.. ANYTHING.. deals on apparel, best ways in/out of the stadium, giveaways, great stories from this season or from seasons gone by, rumors, trades, anything.... feel free to post it here.

If a big story breaks, you can still start a thread about it. There is merely an all inclusive thread that will make a easy for us all to keep up with all things Royals.


Welcome! "Grab a Brew... don't cost nuthin"...[spills beer on feet]

Mods, please lock this thread. I don't want to waste my time following this stupid team all summer. Thanks.

Rany said it best - as you can see in my sig.

ROFL

5 more weeks until we are mathmatically elimanted

In case any of you missed it, or have a lot of free time to be sad all over again, Joe Posnanski wrote a 25 page blog post about the Royals in the double-ohs: http://joeposnanski.com/JoeBlog/2010...-royal-decade/

The Royals have Rick Ankiel, Scott Podsednik and Randy Winn on their radar, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com.

That said, a baseball source told Crasnick that the Royals aren't looking to spend more than $2 million on a one-year deal for a free agent center fielder. That would seem to dismiss Ankiel, who, according to the report, wants a three-year deal for "big money." Right now, the Royals internal options for center consist of Mitch Maier and Josh Anderson. They should be able to find a bargain as Spring Training approaches.

I'd love to get Ankiel. Pay some folks, dammit!

Repostiory? This is where we put all of the reposts?

Great read from JoPo.

His primary argument:

"People sometimes mock the Royals talk about “The Process” but it seems to me a process is exactly what the Royals need in the new decade. The Royals need to figure out who they are. And then every single move they make — every one — should reflect who they are."

Isn't it sad that something dripping with common sense is something that defies this organization?

Again, as I posted in the other thread, fans should really read Rany's latest blog from around 12/14/09. Damning, damning indictment of Dayton Pioli.

I just canceled my plans for Spring Training after reading this. I'd rather stay in sub zero weather than go to ST and know Mitch ****ing Maier is our "real" option in CF. Or LF. Or RF. Or Omaha. Or Memphis. Or .... aw ****itall.

Going into 2010, we might just have the worst everyday lineup in baseball history.

WE'RE MAKING HISTORY IN 2010.
