Regarding Starling:
Painful to look at the guys taken in the next ten picks after him: Archie Bradley (tearing it up, though Bundy got all the attention from that draft) Francisco Lindor (Mondesi, just 2 years olders) Javier Baez (exploded last summer. SS with big-time bat) Jose Fernandez (Cuban emigre is already in the majors) The Royals were linked pretty heavily to Bradley before the draft.

It's only 7 games/28 PAs so far this year, but Starling is 2-for-26 with 0 XBHs, 2 BBs and 11 Ks.
I saw a tweet the other day that said the scouting reports on Starling are like "the soundtrack to a snuff film." He was fine in Rookie ball last year, though. So cross your fingers. |

Bubba Starling won't start hitting until we move the stadium downtown.
He's from Johnson County, y'know.... Last edited by gblowfish; 04-11-2013 at 12:28 PM.. |

Jackson County footed the bill, they get first dibs on tickets and the stadium should stay right where it is. When Clay/Platte/Wyandotte/Johnson all pitch in, we'll put it smack dab in the middle.

Who was the Bubba like guy we took in the official WORST DRAFT EVER? I can't remember the first name? Something Crosby...
Anyway, it was a stupid pick from day one. For every Beltran, you get a bunch of shitty players that do nothing. |

Speaking as someone who never lived in KC and has always gone to the K driving either from rural north MO or CoMO, I love the location because it was easy to access off the interstates, and I never really cared about bars/restaurants before or after the game. I had a 2-hour drive and just wanted to get home.
I'm not able to see more than one game a year now, so I don't count, but I'd like to know the stats on how many folks from outside KC attend how many games a year. |
