2010 Kansas City Royals Repository thread

[SPchief]

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]

Omar trying to dump Perez; no takers
By Adam Rubin

The Mets are trying to peddle Oliver Perez, who is midway through a three-year, $36 million contract, an American League source told ESPNNewYork.com.

Predictably, those talks have gone nowhere.

In one scenario, the Mets approached the Kansas City Royals about exchanging Perez for right-hander Gil Meche (0-4, 6.66 ERA in nine starts). Meche hasn't even pitched since May 25 because of shoulder bursitis. Meche's contract, like Perez's deal, runs through 2011 and is for an identical $12 million a season.

Perez's next rehab appearance is Saturday for Triple-A Buffalo. In his most recent outing with the Bisons, he walked five, hit two batters and had two wild pitches in five innings.

He may as well have written that the Yankees would love to get Greinke. This is obviously written by a delusional Yankee fanboy pretending to be a sports journalist.

I'm all for trading players, but there's absolutely NO reason to trade Soria, so lets put an end to that discussion. From nearly every source I've heard, we have as much or more talent in the minors than any organization. If we compete in 2012, like many expect us to, we will need him.

I'm a huge fan of DeJesus. Guy just produces...with a smile on his face; an organizations dream. He got him one more year, I'd take the pick(s) if he walks, but I don't think he would. He loves it here.

That's my thought. Guillen goes, Kila gets called up, Clint Robinson to AAA, and Hosmer to the Naturals.

John Lamb heads up the new Baseball America Hotsheet: http://www.baseballamerica.com/today...0/2610373.html

Then there's this interesting tidbit: @Greg_Schaum Keep in mind, as good as John Lamb is he can not wait to start throwing his slider at AA. #Royals P don't throw that pitch til AA about 2 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone

This kid has stud written all over him.

Awesome read, Reaper. I also noticed this tidbit about Romak:


• When the Royals promoted Mike Moustakas to Triple-A Omaha, Northwest Arkansas general manager Eric Edelstein called him the most impressive minor leaguer he's ever seen. So the Naturals could rightfully expect that they wouldn't find anyone who could come close to replacing his production. For at least one week, new third baseman Jamie Romak has managed to replace Moustakas. Since his promotion from high Class A Wilmington, Romak, 25, is hitting .550 (11-for-20) with three home runs, two doubles and six RBIs. Like a number of Royals, Romak is an ex-Brave, although in this case the Royals picked him up as a minor league free agent after a stint with the Pirates. Romak had failed to stick in his first two tries at Double-A, but this one's going a little better up to now.
