I think the Royals have shown, albeit slowly, that they are going to hold you accountable if you don't perform. If Davis sucks, they'll either replace him from within (Duffy/Paulino) or go get someone at the deadline.

I have a bad feeling about this game. But then again I had a bad feeling about last night's game as well. That means we will win tonight.

Is Perez hurt? If not, WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH IS HE NOT CATCHING AGAIN TONIGHT?

Gotta keep the kid fresh.
Plus, Kottaras loves to pull the ball and should fare well at Yankees Stadium. I also love his plate discipline, which tends to be contagious. I'm all about Salvy, but Kottaras has been a plus player for us. |

Yeah, plus with the righty tonight and Pettitte tomorrow, it makes sense to start Kottaras.

Kottaras (sp?) sucks behind the plate. I was at Sunday's finale against the A's and was sitting really close. I never realized how terrible he is defensively. Horrible arm and he couldn't block a damn thing. Perez can handle starting 3 straight, then if you want to, give him the day game (tomorrow) off.

because catching is pretty physically brutal and we'd like to have the kid in good shape come late August. Catchers will always play less than other positions due to the demands of the position.
Plus, it means you can PH the kid in the late innings if need be. save some wear and tear. |

Salvy is 23. The day night thing shouldn't bother him - especially when you have most of next week off and you just sat him Sunday. |

Nova doesn’t have a huge split, but he does actually do better against right-handed batters than lefties, which is a bit odd considering his repertoire. That’s something that has been happening throughout his entire career, so it’s not a small sample size aberration from this year. All that said, Righties do much better against Petite and Perez could have a big game against him.
