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 Scott fail

The best part is when he say's Dayton Moore is Mr. Belding from Saved by the bell, sounds about right

CHENZ A! · 01-27-2010, 07:53 PM

I hate that ****ing guy. If we would've gotten rid of him along with teahen and Buck, this might have been the best off season EVARRRR.

**cabletech94** · 01-27-2010, 07:53 PM

What's sad is all of the dancers in the Tim Scott fail had to be put down after the awards show.....
.....because, well, it was just time.

He's STRRRIkomatic!!!!! Wow, just wow.

The 30 year old was 5-3 with a 2.82 ERA in 15 games for the Mariners this past year while battling injuries. The Orioles and Royals are thought to be the top contenders for his services.

This would be the best off-season signing in Moore's career as a GM.

Ah, I just found out why the Royals are interested in Bedard...

Mariners head trainer Rick Griffin hinted Thursday that free agent Erik Bedard (shoulder) might not be ready to pitch for another three-to-five months.
Bedard underwent exploratory surgery on his left shoulder in August that revealed a torn labrum and inflamed bursa. According to Griffin, he was given a 10-to-12 month recovery timeline and it has only been seven. In other words, he might be ready by late April, but chances are he'll be out until May. No wonder he's drawn such little interest on the open market this winter.

I think bedard is worth the risk, hopefully DM gives it a shot

eazyb81 · 01-29-2010, 07:29 AM

Sure Bedard is worth the risk, but hope everyone realizes he's not going to be able to pitch until June, and we'll probably be 20-30 games back at that point.

**DeezNutz** · 01-29-2010, 07:37 AM

Has to be, at least, a 2-year deal, with an emphasis on deal.

1 yr/ $1 million with a team option for a 2nd year at $7 million w/ no buyout.

It's similar to what the Cardinals gave Carpenter coming out of Toronto. He ended up unable to pitch that season, the Cardinals declined his option, resigned him to a contract for $500K.

It worked out okay for us...

Sounds about right.

So I'm sure Dayton is working to finalize a 3 year/$21 million deal.

Bedard is going to get more than $1mill. Yes, Carpenter was coming off an injury just like Bedard, but he also was mediocre in Toronto.

Bedard has a much better track record - he hasn't had an ERA above 4 since 2004.

Demonpenz · 01-29-2010, 09:52 AM

On petro the other day petro said "of course this team is going to be better, baseball is about the law of averages and it pulls you toward .500, so the team might be worse, but they will win games. A caller called in and was like, dude we've lost 100 games for like 10 straight years, I don't see where your logic is coming from.

That's a fair point, and Carpenter had pretty serious shoulder surgery; though Bedard's isn't much better.

That said, prior to Carp's surgery, he'd been seen as a guy on the rise and an emerging workhorse. He was still only 27 (Bedard's 30) and put together a very strong season in 2001. Carpenter's reputation was better than his results. It was hard to find anyone that wasn't puzzled as to why he was struggling. Bedard, OTOH has character questions and has never been healthy in his entire career.

Bedard certainly had the better individual season, but he brings a lot of other question marks that Carpenter didn't bring. With Carp, if his shoulder came back sound, you knew he'd be a workhorse for you. With Bedard, even if his shoulder comes back, you're always going to wonder how long he'll last. He's a lefthanded Harden. With Carp, you also got a guy you knew was respected in the clubhouse whereas Bedard seems reviled everywhere he goes.

Ultimately, with the Sheets contract being what it was, you're probably right. He'll probably get somewhere near $4 million guaranteed (probably $3 million with a $1 million buyout) and an option for $9/$10 million for next season. I can't see any team giving him a 1 yr deal worth anything if they don't know if he'll pitch at all this season; shoulders are strange animals.

I don't think I'd go that high.

Al Bundy · 01-29-2010, 11:45 AM

I personally would like a Bedard deal in the range of that initial Carpenter deal with St. Louis. This team isn't going to score worth a shit.
