2010 Kansas City Royals Repository thread
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.

I agree that we should be hopeful.

Howwwwweeever, it's my contention that the improvements in the minors have far less to do with DM, specifically, and everything to do with Glass being willing to spend top dollar in the draft.

With where we've been picking and the budget he's been given, it would take an impressive act to **** up the draft COMPLETELY.

And you should.

I'm hoping beyond hope that Moose keeps kicking ass and makes all of the people like myself, who went ape shit because the team passed on Porcello and Wieters, look foolish.

Look at these selections: Hochevar, Moose, Hosmer, Crow.

Sorry, you can't pick this high as an organization and not come away with at least one star. One.

Thus far Hoch is not going to answer the bell. Fine guy to have in the rotation, but I might just prefer Longoria instead. Moose is on deck, though, and let's hope he's not pulling an Alex Gordon in the minors.

Your thoughts on John Lamb? Kid has looked outstanding thus far.

Love the strikeout to walk ratio and lowish WHIP. As a fifth rounder? Damn. Could be an absolute steal.

As Rany mentioned in an earlier update, I believe, this is probably the most left-handed pitching talent we've ever had in the organization, which is outstanding since we've been bereft of talented lefties at the ML level.

This is why I was in favor of Miller over Hochevar several years ago, though it looks like the latter might be the better selection, ultimately.

Rany had a good article. Right up until the point that he had Gordon in the lineup. Then it really lost something.

He needs to be there, pete. I realize he's a frustrating sumbitch because of all the failed expectations, but...

Would you guys trade Gordon to the Diamondbacks for Chris Young? Similar flashes of great potential, clears room for Callaspo to LF when Moose comes up, solves our CF dilemma, keep DDJ in right? I don't even know how realistic this is but maybe a change of scenery would help Gordon develop as well as Young.

Chris Young has been pretty good this year, so I'm not sure the DBacks would want to trade him at this point.

Getting duffy back just increases the reasons for hope in this minor league group.

With crow, Monty, duffy, arguelles, lamb and whoever is taken at no. 4 (I think it will be pomeranz or the kid from the citadel), the Royals are stockpiling a huge number of arms that will be big-league ready within a few years of each other. Encouraging.

That then allows you to work from a position of strength and find trades YOU like to fill in position pieces at the big-league level.

Moose and Hosmer are playing as they were expected to ... And look like valuable picks in their drafts. The key will be levearging the abundance of pitching talent to support hr "stars" in development. Moose, hosmer and myers need to progress into stars, though.

Hopefully, Robinson can be an answer in CF. I'm not goin to count on Gordon, but he might be a nice fit in the two hole if he can keep his average in the .275 range in he majors (which likey translates to a .375ish obp). He will take pitches, he runs well, and he has some pop. Guys like that can be GREAT two hole hitters.

Robinson
Gordon
butler
Moose
Hosmer (rf)
Kila/fa
Aviles (2b/as)
fa (2b/ss)
fa (placeholder at c)

looks pretty good for 2012/13 ...

Jamey Wright-R-Indians Jun. 4 - 12:01 pm et

Indians designated RHP Jamey Wright for assignment.
Wright was cleared to make room for Frank Herrmann on the roster. The veteran right-hander compiled a 5.48 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and a mediocre 9/9 K/BB ratio over 18 relief appearances with the Tribe.

I wonder if we will try to get him back lol
