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

You should consider 500 runs for the year a success with that lineup.

The nerds at fangraphs unloaded both barrels of the shotgun today.

http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index...a-begins-in-kc

Quote:
The Royals managed to acquire a guy who is barely better than a AAA journeyman, will be 36 in 2010, will likely be replacement level or below in 2011 if he isn’t already, and are paying him six million dollars over two years. This would be a bad contract no matter what the team’s situation.

...

Buck and Pena aren’t the primary issue here. They are examples that emphasize both the overpayment and pointlessness of the Kendall acquisition, particularly on a team that will be lucky to win 75 games in 2010. It is tempting to turn this into a rant about Dayton Moore, but frankly, this probably won’t be my last chance to do so this off-season. Instead, let’s have some words from the man of the hour himself, Jason Kendall:

Quote:
“There were other offers,” [Kendall] said, “but one thing about Dayton and the Royals is, they called me the first day I became a free agent. That’s something that kind of speaks for itself.”
Indeed.

It's funny, too, because people have bashed Buck for years. And I don't think he's some all-world guy. But it's not like there's a plethora of catching brilliance out there. I've always thought you could do a lot worse than Buck. Hopefully we don't see that.

Although you never know with these things, some of the Royals best teams in the past 20 years (which I know isn't saying much) came with Brent Mayne behind the plate and nobody ever thought he was worth anything.

Dayton Pioli came from Atlanta. Therefore, he will be a success.

What a fun diversion during Bills week. It almost makes me want to look ahead to the Browns game.

Thats a lot to hope for.

I never really got the Buck hatred. I think he's basically tainted in the mind of the fans by being part of the Beltran trade, but thats not his fault. He's just basically a league-average catcher who is a little questionable on defense.

Blue Jays Sign John Buck

By Luke Adams [December 13 at 12:45pm CST]
The Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a one-year, $2MM deal with John Buck, pending a physical, according to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark.

Buck was non-tendered yesterday by the Kansas City Royals. As Tim pointed out in our summary of the most interesting new free agents, Buck is still just 29 years old and has exhibited some power in the past. His career numbers are .235/.298/.407 with 70 homers in 584 games.

With Toronto's signings of Buck and Raul Chavez earlier today, the Jays' backstop situation for 2010 is starting to take shape.

It sucks, but once we declined arbitration for Buck, we had no chance at signing him. Would have much rather had him for $2MM than Kendall for $3MM.

Oh, for f**k's sake, we spent an extra $1MM next year to significantly downgrade at catcher.

We signed Brian Anderson today for $700K.

Meh.

Actually I don't really hate this deal. He is a great defensive CF and has shown potential with the bat in the minors. At worst, he will provide some competition for Maier and can come off the bench as a defensive replacement late in games.

$700K is throwing shit against the wall to see if it sticks.

If so, great. If not, who cares...

These kinds of moves should happen frequently for a club like the Royals. Maybe we'll catch lightning.

Looks like Brandon Morrow is going to Toronto for a prospect and Brandon League.

I REALLY hope we talked to Seattle about him, because he is exactly the type of player we need to be trading for/acquiring. Young, HUGE upside, and available. Morrow, along with Greinke and the pitching we have in the minors could have been an awesome start to our rotation.
