Royals Deal Huber to Pads

Pitt Gorilla · 03-26-2008, 02:51 PM

KANSAS CITY -- The Kansas City Royals traded first baseman/outfielder Justin Huber to the San Diego Padres in exchange for a player to be named. Huber, 25, has made brief appearances in the Majors with the Royals the past three seasons after being acquired from the New York Mets on July 30, 2004

The guy never got a fair shot here.

Coach · 03-26-2008, 04:13 PM

Not sure that will work for him. He needs to be in the AL in the DH spot.

That being said, great trade. No need for him to go to some AL team where he can rape us.

I'd like to know what we got for him before I call it a "great trade".

Oh No!!! Not Justin Huber!!

There goes my World Series dreams....

Great news, we were going to get nothing for him. Huber's a good kid, but he can't play the field and he's just a decent hitter. He had no shot of making the team with Butler and Shealy around.

Also, the Royals officially named Bale as the #4 and Tomko (ugh) as the #5.

Davies and Hochevar to AAA and JDLR was DFA'd.

I can handle Tomko being the 5th spot. I still feel that Nomo would be a better choice, but we'll see.

And thank god JDLR is DFA'ed. He sucked.

Haha. What if Gayton Moore messed up. Emil hit a homer today for the A's and has looked good so far this year. Sweendog also with the A's now went 2-4. What if Huber turns into a Ryan Bruan type player?

Poor Hochevar..... that guys is really looking like a waste of a draft pick.... especially a freakin first overall pick.

After dicking around reneging contracts for 2 straight years before going #1, sucking in the minors, and getting an honest shot this year, he still can't get it together....

Sheesh.....

No, I think the reason why they're putting him in the AAA level was not to rush him, and keep him in the starting rotation, meaning to build up his pitch counts.

Personally, I'd rather have him in Omaha, pitching every 5th day, instead of in KC at the pen, unsure when he's going to pitch....

I know, I'm just losing patience with the kid. He'll be 25 years old this year.

Emil Brown was too busy tryin to tap ass after the games rather than play. Im glad he is not a royal anymore...we'll see how his stats are after a month. As for sweeney, classy guy and wish him the best. I would laugh if huber became a good player.
