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.

If I don't get that, I keep him, still try to re-sign when his contract is up (hopefully we'll be .500 and ready to start winning by then) and let him walk and pick up the compensation prospects if that is what he wants.

If money is not the issue, and a move would improve the team, then you do it and ignore the outrage from the fans. They will pack the stadium when you win, with Greinke becoming a faint memory. I am, first and foremost, a fan of the team, not of Soria and Greinke.

While you're correct, I do wonder what is the attendence difference when Greinke is starting and the other days when he isn't.

Just seems that people are willing to pay to see Greinke pitch than the other guys, but I'm just speculating.

I won't worry about attendance or backlash if zack is traded, it has to be a deal that is great and helps this youth movement. The future is almost here, its HAS to come through

If they could get three top of the line prospects who will fit into the Hosmer/Moose Tacos group then I think it would behoove the Royals to swing a deal.

Who cares?

Have they traded Greinke for prospects yet?

Demonpenz · 10-20-2010, 09:59 AM

Ivory Hunter thanks for the updates. Hosmer is the man.

according to buster olney on the radio this morning, the royals have started listening to offers.

his reasoning was pretty solid - this it the best time to trade Zack - he still has 2 years left on his contract, and if he performs next season like he did last season, his value on the trade market is going to drop.

Lets just give him to the Yankees and get it over with.

Our role in MLB is to develop talent for contending teams.
And make David Glass richer.
That's about it.

Unless the return is outstanding, and I mean out****ingstanding, the Royals shouldn't even begin to consider trading Greinke.

You simply do not let #1 pitchers get away.

Even though we only control him for 2 more years and he has indicated he does not want to resign?

keg in kc · 10-20-2010, 11:23 AM

I'd like to believe they're looking for the MLB equivalent of the Herschel Walker trade.

Yes.

We should have a promising, albeit maybe not a "competing," team in 2012. And I want to see Zack turn down a guaranteed pile of cash from the team.

Ideally, I'd like to explore trade options from now through 2011, and pull the trigger if floored by an offer. If not, start working on an extension next off-season, and the club will have to pony up *at least* market value. Yeah, that will be pricey, but that's the cost of doing business after years of not trying at the ML level.
