Royals Guillen strikes out 3 times tonight in Royals loss

Jenson71 · 05-05-2008, 08:39 PM

At what point are we sitting him and putting Gathwright in the lineup?

Sure-Oz · 05-05-2008, 08:40 PM

Royals gave up 4 runs in the 9th, excellent job by Peralta giving up 2 hr's..

This whole offense is pathetic, guillen isn't the only problem, no one has stepped up

Adept Havelock · 05-05-2008, 08:43 PM

I don't think sitting what looks to be a $11 million/yr bad investment is an option right now.

Then again, maybe it would help his cranial-rectal conversion.

Jose "0-2" Guillen

Sure-Oz · 05-05-2008, 08:45 PM

Butler and Gordon have looked bad, but yes for the money guillen needs to step up. He needs to get over the mendoza line first off...

We have pretty damn good pitching and zero offense...hope they figure things out soon

KCUnited · 05-05-2008, 08:46 PM

He needs to take a pitch or two.

Not cool to see 94 mph fastballs get thrown right by him...all night long.

He was overmatched but the team was as a whole...Santana had it working all night long.

Most the team is impatient and weak at this moment. Gload, and Pena may not be able to out hit the avg cp poster

ChiefsCountry · 05-05-2008, 08:52 PM

And he is still leading the team in RBI's.

He was, no doubt, and Santana was damn good tonight. But he's a vet and should be able to battle a bit. Look at what Grudz did tonight, and Guillen should be every bit the hitter that he is but with power. It's not like Grudz is a career .330 hitter or anything, just a solid player.

And everybody mocked me when I said Emil Brown was not really a drop off at all compared to Guillen. For the money, might as well just keep Emil. Guillen will eventually snap out of whatever funk he's in you'd think, but still..not worth the money.

Has Tony Pena Jr got his 3rd walk of the year yet?

Sam Hall · 05-05-2008, 09:08 PM

I don't know if the first round pick will be a hitter, but a lot of people like Justin Smoak and Pedro Alvarez.

The other guy we tried to sign is batting .154 with 1 hr and 4 rbis....

Andruw...

I think he'll eventually have better #'s, but we do have to pay extra unfortunately. Emil is doing great with the rbi's, but it won't last and his defense will still suck baows.

Agreed, he seems to be pressing way too much, but he is a pro and needs to snap out of it. Butler looks pretty bad too, he needs to get out, he was pretty solid last year in 90 games

Olivo needs to start over Buck.

Olivo is the only power hitter on the KC lineup right now. As sad as it is to say.
