Royals 2009 Kansas City Royals Repository. - Page 137

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! "Grab a Brew... don't cost nuthin"...[spills beer on feet]

Billy is developing into what he was supposed to be. Too bad we can't say the same for Gordon.

Sure-Oz · 09-25-2009, 09:16 PM

4 hits now for billy and yeah he is developing into that edgar martinez player we expected. I think he has a chance to be a 30 hr guy too...a good chance. DM even thouhg i take his thoughts with a grain of salt now thought when he first got here that Butler had more power than gordon. Man, now its time for gordon to atleast be a .270 25hr guy, please

Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune is reporting that the Royals have some interest in Milton Bradley. Royals upper management believes Bradley could thrive in Kansas City, where baseball is improving, but it's a pretty low-key environment.

The Royals could benefit from Bradley's bat in the lineup, who would provide stability in the four spot. Sullivan also suggests a possible Aaron Rowand for Bradley swap, which is possible considering the Cubs need another outfielder, who could be a stopgap to some of their younger prospects.
