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.

Parraz has some interesting upside but largely on the strength of one good season in the Texas League (a hitter's paradise). He'll certainly need to repeat it before I consider him a legitimate prospect.

Isnt Blake Johnson one of the best prospects in our system?

And Parraz i think will be the shit, he has been good since 2006 in the minors...

We have an advantage with ZG. He's totally loved here, and he does not like to talk to the media. The locals will let him do that, but the NY and BOS media coverage would drive him crazy.

He could go to a mid-market team that could shell out some serious cash like the Brewers, or perhaps the Angels (who is the red-headed stepchild of the Dodgers in LA). But, my sense is that he really does not care that much about getting the biggest contract possible, and there will be certain markets that he just is not interested in playing in.

ZG could legitimately be a life-long Royal. The key is whether he thinks the team will be competitive when it comes time to signing again.

Yost hired by Royals as advisor
Former Brewers manager has Atlanta connection

By Dick Kaegel / MLB.com
KANSAS CITY -- Ned Yost, former manager of the Milwaukee Brewers, has been hired by the Royals as a special advisor to baseball operations.

Yost, 54, who managed the Brewers from 2003 to Sept. 15, 2008, was dismissed when the club had an 83-67 record and was in second place. During his tenure, Milwaukee had a 457-502 record.

From 1991-2002, Yost was a coach for Atlanta, serving eight years as bullpen coach and four years as third-base coach for Braves manager Bobby Cox. A catcher, Yost played in the Majors in 1980-85 for Milwaukee, Texas and Montreal.

Interesting hire, and I think your last sentence may be more true than you believe.

Yost is a very good manager.

Trey Hillman should be fired once the ink on Yost's contract dries.

Sure-Oz · 01-13-2010, 01:40 PM

Hillman should bring back the rat tail

I agree.

I think Neddy got ****ed in Milwaukee. He's a very astute Manager - unlike the tard we currently employ.

Now, if we could somehow make that a package firing with Moore, I'd be ecstatic.

I dont think any manager can win crap with the players our gm brings in

That's not part of the process.

And, honestly, I'd prefer for Hillman to be the fall guy for Moore's most recent failings. No reason to bloody another body. There will be plenty of time for this later, I'm sure.

And hope that, somehow, Dayton gets shit canned ASAP.

DJ's left nut · 01-13-2010, 02:03 PM

As a fantasy baseball dork, Alex Gordon becomes draftable as a late-round flier (or a potential waiver wire add) as soon as I hear that Yost is working with him.

Yost can develop hitters with the best of them. He's not great about managing bullpens (though still better at it than Hillman), but the man knows how to build an offense.

No argument there, although I think it's debatable that our manager could win with the Yankees lineup

He'd find a way to blowout CC's arm and Riveras

Just ask Gil (although he's two hundred and six).

Chris Lubanski signs with Blue Jays

I had hoped for more from Lubanski and the Royals. I thought maybe he could be a power hitting OF for them as he grew. He really struggled at AAA.
