I don't understand why Coleman is being optioned. He was solid last year.

Sanchez and Chen make you sick to your stomach, but Hochevar and Mendoza don't?

:spock:

The good news is that you don't have to explain it to any of us. We understand. Solidarity brother

So its the 99-2000 Royals all over again. Yippee!

I got to have something to hold on to? Truth be told, it's all mostly shit, with a smattering of corn.

See, I'm more shocked at Coleman being shipped. Dude was pretty good all year for us in 2011.

He struggled a bit in spring training, but I think the bigger problem is finding space. Collins outpitched him during ST, and earned the spot. If they were carrying 8 bullpen guys, I"m sure he'd be No. 8.

Probably so. I'm sure he'll be the first guy up if needed, assuming he doesn't bomb out in Omaha

He's earned it. He has. He's earned it. He's been very consistent for a couple of years now.

Looks like Tommy Hottovy isn't going to make it onto the roster.

Damn shame, he's had a great Spring; he's done everything the Royals could ask of him. Went to HS with him and he's a hell of a good dude. Hope he sticks with it, if he keeps pitching like he did in camp, he'll get back up here. LOOGIES have the shelf-life of a Twinkie; he's a pup still for left-handed relievers.

w00t. Hope Gordon doesn't get lazy on us now

Chiefspants 03-30-2012 05:00 PM

Alex Gordon's deal: 4 years/$37.5 mil. 12: $6 mil, 13: $9 mil, 14: $10 mil, 15: $12.5 mil. Player option in 2016 is for $12.5 mil #Royals

Per Robert Ford twitter acct.

Coincidentally, this is almost the precise deal that Zach Greinke received, it's awesome that we finally got it done.

Go Royals!
