According to Buster Olney, the Major League Baseball owners are going to ask Bud Selig to stay for at least two more years. There will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth from a lot of people if he accepts it, but I'm fine with this. |
The dude makes $22 mil a year in salary... why's he not accepted already? lol

On the Scout BB it says the Royals season opener will be televised on ESPN2 (but it will probably be televised by FSKC blacking out the ESPN2 telecast in KC). Also in looking at the schedule 6 Sat. afternoon games have already been selected by FOX for their package.
Remember 22 games will not be televised by FSKC, those 6 will be among the 22. Also, remember FSKC does not televise games on Sat. after CFB starts (9/1) and Sun. games after the NFL season starts (9/9), so that will be 8 games not televised by FSKC (one of the FOX telecasts will be in Sept.). All of this means of the remaining games all but 8 will be televised by FSKC. Hopefully they ALL will be weekday DAY games. (Sorry, night shift workers, and yes, it is all about me.) |
@Buster_ESPN
Buster Olney The asking prices have come down significantly for veteran FA starters: Oswalt (said to be at $8m), Kuroda (10-11m), Edwin Jackson. |
Supposedly the Yankees are going to deal Jesus Montero to the Mariners for Michael Pineda. I don't even know what to say about that.
|
I think NY wins that. Right? A legit SP in exchange for a DH?
|
Oh I think so. I can't believe Seattle gave him up. The guy is probably going to be a 200+ K guy.

At $8 million for one year, the Royals should sign Oswalt. It's a no-brainer, IMO.
And yeah, Pineda is a stud. |

I'm not saying we shouldn't go after Oswalt, I'm saying look at the length our necks are stuck out already. |

Obviously he's not the Oswalt of old, but I think he can be an impact arm in the rotation. |

I understand we have to take some chances and hope for the best. If we sign Oswalt I'll cheer for him and hope he can be what we need. It just concerns me. That's all I'm saying. Back problems aren't easy to deal with. We can't afford to be 3 time losers on the pitching staff in a single year. |
I would have loved to have Pineda. Damn.
