Royals 2010 Kansas City Royals Repository thread - Page 178

SPchief · 04:22 PM

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]

Yes, completely agree.

You better hope they don't make Dayton Moore jersies. If they do, I am totally getting you one for Christmas.

It will go nicely with the Cassel one I might have to purchase, too.

Read today that Texas made an offer to DM but the Royals dismissed it as being way less than they were looking for.

You have to stay open to the possibility that KC has been trying to move Zach for a while now and they're simply asking too much for him.

I'd rather have 2 mlb ready players (one with all star potential) over 3 guys who may never pan out...

What do you need to drink to think that the 2011 Royals will be better than 2010? Its obvious, simply because of the sheer magnitude of suck that got penciled into our lineup for April 2010. I doubt they will have a winning record, but a fluke .500 year isn't out of the question, this team is likely to win around 73 games and play 0.450 baseball.

The consensus I've read among the non-Royals fan observers who also aren't pulling for a team trading for him is that the Royals are correct. If this offer isn't available now, it could be in July. Teams are kicking the tires just to see if they can get him easily. More specifically, the prospect guy for Baseball prospectus recently said that if the Rangers offer Perez, Scheppers and Profar for Greinke, the Royals should say no at this time.

Not to mention that the person who penciled in that shit lineup is gone, too. Yost might not be a world beater, but he is a legit ML manager, which is a ton more than one can say about Barnyard Trey.

Are you even aware of the carnival of horrors we had in the beginning of 2010? Really, you are trying to argue we are now worse? That is an argument you can not win.

I admire your optimism. And I will be there (in spirit) opening day to cheer the Royals on.

But I def believe that this will be a setup year waiting for Mous, Hosmer and the pitchers to get ready for 2012...

I'm not saying "Print 'EM!", its just that there was so much wailing and gnashing of teeth last winter when people began to realize what we were going to have, I'm surprised you didn't remember. I can close my eyes and still read about the horrors of a lineup where we had Guillen, signed old-ass Kendall, and prepared to unleash the mighty Ankiel for cleanup.

This is still a losing team, we're just going from "holy God this lineup is going to suck" to just merely "crummy"

**alnorth** · 12-04-2010, 10:26 PM

Just noticed that some reporters in Toronto are making noise. Blue Jays think the Yankees, Rays, and Red Sox will all fall back and this could be their big chance to win the AL East. The rumor coming out of Canada (who knows if it is reliable or total BS) is more attractive than most of what people have been talking about from Texas or New York. This isn't enough of a no-brainer to send me rushing out to pack Greinke's bags, but it is big enough to make me think about it.

Kyle Drabek, Travis Snider, J.P. Arencibia, and either Brett Cecil or Anthony Gose

for Greinke.

ChiefsCountry · 12-04-2010, 10:29 PM

If that went down then Drabek would have been traded for Holliday and Greinke. He better be his old man and then some.

**DeezNutz** · 12-04-2010, 10:30 PM

Snider is interesting, but Arencibia better be tits because young pitchers who have had Tommy John's don't excite me.

That would be a pretty nice deal.
