Royals 2010 Kansas City Royals Repository thread - Page 124

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]

Yeah, I'm more optimistic now that I've looked up the lefty's stats...I don't know why they even bothered trading for the two other terrible guys though. Just more roster space clogged with shit.

So apparently Meche has decided against surgery and wants to heal the injury

from ranys twitter

So now Gil Meche *won't* have surgery, and hopes rehab will get him back in September. I'm setting the odds that this works at 0.0000001%. about 3 hours ago via TweetDeck

WTF, shouldn't there some kind of clause in a big money contract like that to protect against a guy refusing surgery when it's obviously needed?

Sure-Oz · 08-01-2010, 02:16 PM

Meche is done as a royal, no way he starts again IMO....i'd say if anything he's a reliever. It sounds as if he does do surgery he'd be out most of next year anyway

Thanks Trey for letting meche destroy his arm

Moose Tacos just homered again today. That makes 3 homers in the last 8 abs. Dreaming ahead to next year maybe we could see #'s like this

RF - David Dejesus .315 14 HRS
CF - Mitch Maier .270 10 HRS
1B - Billy Butler .325 20 HRS
DH - Kila Ka'aihue .285 25 HRS 100 walks
3B - Mike Moustakas .270 25 HRS
LF - Alex Gordon .275 25 HRS
C - Lucas May .270 13 HRS
SS - Acquisition
2B - Mike Aviles .290 12 HRS

-------------
3B - Wilson Betemit
OF - Greger Blanco
2B - Chris Getz
SS - Yuniesky Betancourt

We seem to have an abundance of 3B and 1B/DH in the minors. Somebody is going to have to get moved eventually if the AAA guys end up being successful at the majors.

**DeezNutz** · 08-01-2010, 06:31 PM

SS - Colon.

And I'm good with Aviles not playing.

Sure-Oz · 08-01-2010, 06:33 PM

Aviles hasn't show much of anything this year, im fine with him being in the minors

Mecca · 08-01-2010, 06:34 PM

Lucas May is never going to be a starting catcher. Some guys will start to come up next year but the majority of the future is still another year or 2 away.

With Kendall blocking him, I can see why you'd think he couldn't start for KC.

Oops, he let it get to the screen.

Pitchers figured out that as long as you stay away from middle/in, he can't hurt you. I'm still shocked the guy can hit for a decent average with those mechanics. I tell my son to close his eyes every time Aviles comes to the plate.

BWillie · 08-01-2010, 09:57 PM

Can Betemit play short? Lol

I just don't think colon is going to be ready anytime soon

Did you come to this conclusion from your extensive research and game film from his Dodgers' minor league career?

He ****ing better be. He's an advanced college bat and a player with, supposedly, elite baseball instincts.

If we don't see him next season, he damn well better be in KC in '12. College players are supposed to move relatively quickly. This is why a player like Crow has been such a ****ing disappointment this season. He should be in the pen for KC right now, and the fact that he's not is somewhat, not drastically but somewhat, disconcerting.

You could go read some takes on him from educated baseball people before you make a jackass remark because I made the comment.

I've read plenty of takes from educated baseball people since the trade and I haven't seen anyone say, "Lucas May is never going to be a starting catcher."

Care to link me to the article or message board you copied and pasted that post from?
