Yost/DM talk about those two like they are plus-defenders. They aren't even average, in my opinion. Getz has no idea what he's doing around 2nd base on double-plays. And EJ showed his wizardry in the field yesterday. Maybe Duncan or a smarter-than-me baseball mind can explain why Royals Brass seem to think those two are good ballplayers?

Cain and Moose are wayyyyy too young to be hurt. Cain is just a glass Joe.

Dammit. He found it
I think the problem with Cain is that he doesn't put in the effort. Brett alluded to this in an interview with 810 after he stepped down. Something along the lines of when he took the position, there were a few guys not putting in the effort he expected out of them. Mentioned Cain. But that after getting onto him about it, Cain started putting in a lot of effort. I think he injuries are directly related to that. He may be in good shape based on genetics, but if he's not working out and training his body correctly, the type of injuries he seems to get would be a result of that. Getting an oblique strain in BP is WEAK

What I don't understand is his hitting; He bats left handed but has a better average against LHP (.256) than he does against RHP (.202). I think .256 would be acceptable for a good 2nd baseman. But, that .202 against RHP sucks. Anyway, I'd keep him over EJ. |

Step 3: Profit. Getz's defense and baserunning are SEVERELY overrated by the Royals' front office.

It's a South Park reference.
Getz is marginally better than Giavotella at 2B. He has below-average range and a rag arm. He is sure-handed, though. His base-running is solid but nothing special for a light-hitting middle infielder. HAve to get on base to take advantage of that, and he doesn't.

Many thanks for the new Repository, Duncan.
It washes the stink of the rotting Marlins series off our hands, and today is a new day. All of you naysayers and Neyers can GTFO and Let's do this. Ervin Santana @ErvinSantana_54 39m Today is the only day. Yesterday is gone. #JohnWooden |
