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]

Meche? He's broken merchandise. Be prepared to get a AA prospect for your "#1" pitcher.

Unfortunately, I totally get the Soria trade. What good does it do to have an Ace Reliever when you rarely get to use him. I think we could draw a handsome return for a contender needing a closer.

Sad in year 3 our farm is a bit better but the product on the field has regressed a ton. Worst offseason ever

I think we absolutely need to get what we can for Meche by the mid point next year. They also need to listen for Soria, if they can get multiple top tier guys for these two it could set us forward a ton. Zack should be the only untouchable on the ML roster. Soria has had a nice long AS break...

No question.

I get Chi's point that we might be selling low on Meche. Thanks, Trey! 132, 121, 114. No worries!

we can't even get our gm to understands stats, but what I would do is use soria when you need to get outs. Like old school fire fighter, if he looks tired after the 3rd out well lets fight with cruz or whoever we got left instead of just blowing it and not even using our best weapon.

apparently rany's latest post has the royals refuting the information (as if it wasn't obvious it was a satire article with a few real quotes) really Dayton?

Breaking News About Soria.
(Evidently, the Royals have made it difficult to distinguish between satire and reality. So to set the record straight: the following is fiction. Some of the quotes are real, but the story is not.) <---------this part wasn't here before haha....it shouldn't have needed a disclaimer.

I saw this on RC love this quote that makes it so damn obvious it's fake...

“He’s too rested to pitch,” manager Trey Hillman announced prior to Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays. “If he’s too rested to pitch today, then obviously we can’t pitch him today. And if he doesn’t pitch today, then he’ll be even more rested tomorrow, so he can’t pitch then either. After sitting down and doing the math, we realized that if you extend this line of reasoning into the future, that Soria will be too rested to pitch for every game the rest of the season. So we felt it was best to send Soria home and have him rest up for next year.”

Not only are they strategically dumb, but they lack common sense as well. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you the Full Monty of Stupidity.

I assumed it was other posters confused by Rany's humorous entry. It was the Royals themselves?

Wow.

trading Soria is the equivalent of the Chiefs trading Jared Allen, except if we had Allen signed up for a few more years. Why trade a guy that good that is still so young?

Just because we aren't going to compete this year, maybe next, why get rid of a guy we can have for a while?

When we are ready to compete (hopefully in 2011 and 2012) we will need a dominant closer, and everyone will be bitching about the Royals giving up saves just like Chiefs fans are bitching about not pressuring the QB now.

People only seem to look at this year for this stuff. We have the guy, will have him for a while, so why create another need in the hopes of filling a different one?

For people calling for trading Soria, 2 questions:
- Now that we have seen a year of the results, do you agree with the Jared Allen trade?
- Do you believe in this organization to get the maximum return for a great arm like Soria?

The chiefs are more likely to make it to the SB in two years than the Royals are to make the playoffs.
