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]

No way we should get undercut on ANY deal...id rather tell MLB to **** off and take the draft picks if we dont get an absolute killer deal

BWillie · 12-09-2010, 08:07 PM

I fail to see how Mitch Maier is any worse than Melky Cabrera. Milk-E has to be good because he played for the Yankees! ZOMG's!!!

There's too much interest in Greinke, we've got Atlanta, Toronto, Tampa Bay, Texas, the Yankees to start. We've even apparently got offers from the Dodgers and Brewers.

There is such a barren wasteland of pitching talent available right now that Greinke's value has probably been artificially raised too high to the point where we ought to win this deal if we dont screw it up.

BWillie · 12-09-2010, 08:15 PM

Man, the Royals are going to suck so fucking bad next year. It's not even funny. And if we get rid of Greinke that is another 100 loss season baby.

Exactly...this is the highest trade value he will have as a royal

You think it's possible that we could **** this up? How?

Sure-Oz · 12-09-2010, 08:54 PM

No way they can **** this up, it would be a fireable offense

**alnorth** · 12-09-2010, 09:08 PM

My primary fear is obviously that we'll screw this up. That fear is a *LOT* less now than it was a week ago due to the sheer interest in and perceived value of Greinke. We'll probably do well whether we know what we are doing or not because a half-dozen teams are competing for him. They probably cant play around and try to low-ball us or they may get topped by one of the other 4 or 5 teams.

My secondary fear probably doesn't really matter because like with Cassel, what the fans think is irrelevant as long as you are correct and start winning. I am afraid that when the deal is announced we'll have this pre-conceived notion of some mammoth return for Greinke and find some excuse to be disappointed, even if its a nice deal where we'd say the team trading Greinke won if we were just outside observers who weren't Royals fans.

**DeezNutz** · 12-09-2010, 09:15 PM

Assuming that the trade doesn't look absurd, I'm going to try to do my best to give DM the benefit of the doubt, even though he's been pretty damn bad at evaluating ML talent.

He's been, obviously, solid at establishing the farm system, and I'm hopeful that he'll have more success dealing with prospects.

There's not going to be much to motivate people to go out to the park next year.. besides beer, and women. Last year there was beer, women, and Greinke. Oh well.

That's the truth. I haven't been to many non-Greinke games in the last couple years.

Sure-Oz · 12-09-2010, 09:31 PM

I assume Moose will be up by june or july

What about ... watching the debuts of Mike Moustakas and some of the other youngsters? That's something I'm definitely excited about. I'd say Danny Duffy and maybe Montgomery and/or Dwyer also make debuts at some point.

And then there's the guys they get in return for Greinke. I'd guess at least a few of those guys are going to be up this year.

Greinke, or free tickets are pretty much the only time I'll go out to a weeknight game. I usually go to 10-15 games a year, but that will drop by a couple I'm sure. That said, if it's best for the team, then we have to get what we can.

Can we PLEASE just not trade Soria ever!?! Damnit, if he goes I'll be really bummed, like when callaspo was traded, but worse.
