Baseball Prospectus.com blurb on the Royals
The Royals are just horrible. It’s one thing to claim Tony Graffanino on waivers when you already have almost an identical player in Mark Grudzielanek. It’s another thing entirely to designate your second- or third-best outfielder for assignment so you can do so. The Royals DFAd Chip Ambres to make room for Graffanino, one of the most ridiculous pieces of roster management in recent memory.

I apologize to Royals fans who would like to read analysis of their pitching staff, maybe see some nice words for Ambiorix Burgos and Andy Sisco. There’s no point; this organization would gladly swap out a 26-year-old outfielder with some upside who was clearly good enough to start for them in exchange for a 34-year-old backup second baseman. Why should I show more interest in their season than they do?

Twins 94 68 731 632
white Sox 90 72 769 688
Indians 84 78 717 697
Tigers 78 84 722 749
Royals 51 111 640 931

that's exactly what they are doing. they don't have any old players signed beyond 2007, so they still have the money to sign our young up-and-comers to long-term deals.

like fluctuating from 36 million to 50 million isn't large?

they spent 36 million and lost 108 last year, and they spent 50 million to avoid losing 100 games this year. they managed to do it without sacraficing the future

I don't know why everyone is judging this team before it plays one game.

Costa also had a steal. German had a steal too... he had 10 steals this spring... we've done a lot of running so far. I wonder if that's gonna carry over to the season. We had 36 steals in 47 attempts.

I'm pretty sure that one is in the Bible.

Yeah, great. That's just what we need. Three cheers for mediocrity. By god, we could use a whole roster of Aaron Guiel's, that way when we lose 125 games, we'll at least do it with heart. Or something.

Great Post!

Don't understand the love affair with Aaron freakin Guiel.
