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]

Tim Collins stats look good to me http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=collin004tim

I think Blanco is probably our new lead-off hitter also or am i wrong?

Jesse Chavez - right-handed relief pitcher. Career in MLB: 116 games, 4.92 ERA, 1.45 WHIP

Tim Collins - left-handed relief pitcher. Actually has good numbers in the minors. 2.35 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 116 games. Still in AA right now.

The Braves on Saturday filled a void in center field and added to their deep bullpen in a trade with the Royals, obtaining Rick Ankiel and Kyle Farnsworth.

Kansas City got reliever Jesse Chavez, outfielder Gregor Blanco and minor-league right-hander Tim Collins.

With Nate McLouth demoted to the minors and Melky Cabrera hitting .265, Ankiel can take over in center. He recently returned from a strained quadriceps that cost him more than two months and has four homers and 15 RBI in 92 at-bats this season.

Farnsworth is 3-0 with a 2.42 ERA in 37 appearances. He served as Atlanta's closer down the stretch in 2005 after coming over from Detroit. Chavez, 26, is 3-2 with a 5.89 ERA in 28 games.

Blanco was sent down July 21 but made 16 starts in center field for Atlanta this year and has a .252 average in 204 major-league games.

Collins, 20, went from Toronto to Atlanta in the Yunel Escobar-Alex Gonzalez deal earlier this month. He is just 5-foot-7 and 155 pounds but has 87 strikeouts in 51 innings at Double-A.

True, hopefully he will pan out, otherwise I don't see the point of this trade.

Gregor Blanco, CF, 0.670 OPS in very limited major-league AB, 0.733 in his minor-league career. Not excited about him at all.

Jesse Chavez, Relief RHP, over 1.4 WHIP in limited major-league innings, 1.315 WHIP in his triple-A career, about 2.5 BB/K in AAA. eh, not all that excited about him either.

Tim Collins, Relief AA LHP (we clearly dont have enough left-handed pitching. We have to have close to the most left-handed talent in baseball), 1.086 minor league WHIP, about 3.5 K/BB in the minors. However, he's gone nuts this year, 15.4 K/9 in AA. Wow, thats actually pretty good.

Looks to me like a very good B+/A- AA minor league lefty-relief pitching prospect and 2 very fringey AAA C-/D prospects. Braves fans seem emotionally attached to Blanco, but his stats really dont look special at all.

Is this right? My stats for Collins at AA have him with 104 strikeouts in 63.2 innings. That is a lot of K's.
