Greinke still thinks we are going to suck despite our prospects coming up. He is loco, but I think he's probably right..I mean we are cursed.

He's not really saying that, and he's arguably not wrong. He's saying that by the time we are ready to compete, it could be as late as 2013-2014, which we might be perfectly fine looking forward to, but hard for him to commit to.

Honestly, if I was a GM, I'd just spent 90% of the budget on pitching. Then bring the AAA team up to bat...I mean how much worse could it be.

I wonder what we can get for Greinke? I wonder if his value is the same as it was after last year ended? He has said some negative things lately and he checked out a long time ago. This season was not close to what i thought he'd do (atleast low 3 era)

The irony is that Royals September ball is really the only ball worth watching.

For those of you that are keeping tabs of the farm system...what are some player names that you feel represent the future of the Royals?

Moosetacos should be up in '11, but Hosmer and Montgomery are arguably the two most talented prospects.

You can't expect a team in a market that can't make sense of supporting a payroll comparable to the top teams, to do so. Money doesn't grow on trees, yes, even for David Glass. It's incredible how few people see through the reality of the sham that is MLB and continue to hold onto hope that the Royals might catch lightning in a bottle and beat teams stacked with the top talent, year in and year out. Even if we happen to win the hapless AL Central Division, we stand virtually no chance of going deep into the playoffs, much less knock off the Yankees, Sox etc. in a Series. MLB is simply a joke, and people paying for tickets to the Royals and/or investing their emotions into the team are simply supporting its future in its current, pathetic state.

Basically, Archie, the elite prospects go like this: Bats: 1B Eric Hosmer (destroyed high A before moving to AA at midseason, crushed AA on route to winning the Texas League championship) C Wil Myers (super young, toolsy, best all around bat. This kid, whether he stays at Catcher or moves to the OF, has STAR written all over him) 3B Mike Moustakas (gave AA the ass-raping of its life before moving to AAA. After adjusting to AAA pitching, he ended up doing very well there. Led the entire major leagues in HR). Arms: Mike Montgomery (He's the shit. A bit of elbow stiffness held his playing time back this year, but when pitching he was pretty much overmatching the AA level). John Lamb (made high A batters look foolish. This dude is absolutely filthy. Struggled through some minor roadblocks at AA but adjusted well enough) Danny Duffy (a complete starting package.) Chris Dwyer (him too. Also, all 4 pitchers I mentioned are Left Handed. Interesting). There are plenty of guys underneath them that are major league players, too. |
