2009 Kansas City Royals Repository.
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 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!

He is still young too. There is a good chance this might be one of those great "reds" deals.

I say you put Anderson in and lets see what he has. No use in running Bloomy out there every night.

The only reason we should play bloomy is because he has some trade value because he can play anywhere and is a team guy. Even after the trade deadline I am willing to bet he would clear waivers until a team that needed a utility dude down the stretch. The Rays could put zobrest back in right and have bloomy at second is an example.

we need to get rid of everyone just for the simple fact they don't complement each other well. Now I know Rany has said this many times that we have the same type of player etc but it really comes into play you have a guy that can get on base like gordon then we have no one behind him to hit and run or do ANYTHING with. In a perfect world when a guy gets on whe actually drive him home with some slug, but we are never going to have that bat exept for butler and if mustakas hosmer come up. So what they need to get is people we get hit by pitches, take a bunch of pitchings, good bat control guys. Instead I am sure we are going to Dayton rig the team to have free swingers who because they free swing never drive the ball, this giving us nothing

well the fact that the royals would and do play him in positions on a regular basis that no one else puts him in for an extended time would blow that up. Yes teams know he plays a good second base, and a ok right field, but imagine what they do when we put him in center and they look at their scouting report like wtf? He plays center average too? Lets see what these zany royals do next..... first base? 4th outfield for slow pitch softball? Kick returner?

Another game and Alex Gordon has the only walks out our entire team. Say what you want about Alex Gordon, but he gets on base even if he has a low BA AVG

yeah AG should start mashing per rany because of he is waiting on his pitches. Everyone on the team should take 2 strikes before they are allowed to swing.

well that is what he was predicting awhile ago. he is informed and I am funny. Considering Rany nails almost everything (exept he didn't expect beltran to get to the majors.....let alone win rookie of the year...back in the day) I always respect his opinion because baseball is so a+b=c year in and year out

Does anyone's company give away free tickets to the royals if they do well? That seems like a punishment if you were late. Maybe they should make you sit through a royals game instead of Community service, like if you were caught ****ing a horse....twice

I think my 25 years around the game. Seeing thousands and thousands of games playing, coaching, watching, gives me a good feel on the game. I got the ride around on the bus for game after boring ass game feel and yet I love stats. So if you gave me a team that I am not a fan, let Rob Neyer and Rany do the leg work on the stats, I probably would give you a solid opinion on a win total at the beginning of a year. The fact that I am always high, drunk, and love the royals always skews my beliefs on the royals. I like to think I can will them through a magical season. Then the expected happens. they suck shit, the players they sign suck shit. Just like when you put the birds on bat uni on, or you put the pin stripes on, you just turn into a better ball player for whatever reason. You put on that powder blue and you don't walk and throw like barack
