2009 Kansas City Royals Repository.

[WilliamTheIrish]

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]

I think he'd make up for Callaspo ineptness, but atleast he's a double's machine. Aviles is a pena jr but more frustrating

I heard Yuniesky Betancourt is also a possible trade option.

[Sure-Oz]

Bowman adds that the Braves are likely to shop Jeff Francoeur, but the prospects are grim given his performance in recent times. The Braves are still hurting for power at the corner outfield spots.

Yeah, that's an option, too.

Moore has already tried to acquire this guy once, offering Butterball in return.

Thoughts? Defensively, he's be a HUGE upgrade.

It's a conundrum for sure.

If we make a play for Wilson, and that's a huge IF, we cannot give up any "A" prospects.

Wilson is FA at seasons end and I do not want to lose anybody on the farm for him. If realistically we can sign him, then yea. Other than that, this team will have to pass.
Unless DM thinks he's the guy who can put us over the top. But I don't know that Wilson would make that difference. It's all about the pitching right now.

Tough call.

Hell no you give up ryan shealy, donnie darko, and the rights to jose rosado

[Mama Hip Rockets]

is there any possible reason that the royals could have at this point for justifying having horacio ramirez and mike aviles in the major leagues?

[Sure-Oz]

Aviles needs to be sent down and we just need to go with bloomy at SS...

Ramirez blows, there has to be someone in the minors that can do better

[DeezNutz]

Aviles placed on 15-day DL. Hochevar sent down to Omaha.

Hochevar was actually starting to pitch a little as the game wore on. And Aviles should be on the bus with him.

[DeezNutz]

Ready to play the bust card for Hochevar?
