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]

Which one is that? Bedard?

We got the gold-plated goose, that's for damn sure.

I figure when Moosetacos and Hosmer flame out, Moore will officially be on the hot seat. Three high-priced busts in a row: Hochevar, Moosetacos, and Hosmer should put anyone on alert.

And I think the Crow selection was a big mistake, but that's another story.

I don't have a problem with Mossetacos or Hosmer being drafted. I DO however have a problem with Moosetacos AND Hosmer being drafted.

JFC, why would we draft guys who could come up in a couple seasons??? 2 guys that young was a mistake.

Who did you want instead of Crowe?

Moose Tacos and Hosmer are the only hope right now....the drafts have really killed us...i have almost no faith in anyone becoming good out of our minors. We got lucky that Butler has atleast shown he is a solid player

You can't take those guys, while passing on elite catching prospects. Talk about draft value and need intersecting.

And before the Hosmer selection, Rany had a great breakdown for why Smoak had to be the choice between the two.

I dont think he has signed anywhere. I would like to take a flyer on him honestly, but DM would rather sign 38 year old pitchers or guys that havent played in 2-3 years

Green. No question. Take the college SS.

Dayton talks shit about "the process" but his entire draft philosophy has changed since getting to KC.

Trust what, mother****er? You're not even sure what you're doing.

I have argued and argued and argued for the last 10+ years that this team needs a REAL catcher. You just don't see too many teams in the playoffs with bad catchers. In fact I would say most of the best catchers in the game are in the playoffs or at least contending every year.

I'd like to see him as well. He could be a great pickup if he is healthy and can return to prior-injury level.

His process seems to be to draft guys that still have 4-5 years in AA\AAA, and then wait another 3-4 as they aclimate to the ML's. You would think the Gordon experiment would have shown this team a rookie is not going to save this team. Didn't work with Grienke, didn't work with Gordon and ain't going to work the Hosmer and Moosey. And it didn't work with the pitcher we signed a couple eyars ago. He is so good I forgot his name. Oh yea, Hochevar.

Just think about how much more encouraged we'd be about the future of the team if we had a second-year Wieters or a Posey ready to take over as a n00b?

Instead, we just paid decent $$$ to get, literally, the worst starting catcher in MLB.

I really was leaning towards that pick as well....atleast the value could possibly be there with Crowe

When he got here: HS, high-upside guys. This was the process.

As of '09, he's on record as saying that college players are the way to go.

Ass. Clown.
