@BooneOWH: Clay Buchholz has made three starts since signing with Arizona after leaving Omaha after getting his release from the Royals. He's 1-1 with a 1.50 ERA with 14 strikeouts in 18 innings. WHIP is 0.67.

I was stoked with the idea of having a healthy Clay Bucholz. No idea what the Org was thinking by not picking up the contract. He was even dealing in the minors for us.

Still don’t get it. They could have easily bailed on other, worse veteran pitchers who have less value as trade bait, should they figure it out. Namely, Boyer.

Would be great if we could rush Trevor Cahill from this one. Of course he's been great this year so far, figures.

allard Moore uses his own numbers, thank you.

@Royals: We have claimed OF Rosell Herrera off outright waivers from the Cincinnati Reds. He has been optioned to Omaha. To make room on the 40-man roster, we have transferred RHP Nate Karns to the 60-day disabled list (right elbow inflammation).

@h8rproof82: Herrera played LF & CF last season. Playing solely 2B this year. I’m wondering if they could be preparing for a Whit Merrifield Trade with this move?

@h8rproof82: The way Whit Merrifield is hitting I would think there’s lots of convos about him especially considering his versatility and contract. Herrera seems to be a super utility type in that Whit Mold. Not saying same player just Versatile speedy piece. This move a precursor to a deal?

@h8rproof82: Rosell Herrera was a Top 100 Prospect in 2014. 6’3” 200 Pound 2B from the Dominican Republic. 25 years old. He’s playing 2B this year. Has played all 3 OF spots and SS as well in his career. Has a .813 OPS in AAA and saw Time for the Reds.

This organization has screwed up quite a few times.

Sooo can we immediately get rid of Almonte, now?

Look at the year this Herrera kid had in A ball 2013 as a 20-21 year old (.343 avg, 16 hr, .933 OPS) Not sure why he hasn't improved, but looks to be as solid as piece you can get off the garbage heap.

Play him. Play him over Almonte, Goins. Stop putting Whit anywhere else other than 2B and get this guy out there see what he can do.

Thinking this Jorge Soler guy might be pretty good.

Looks like it... hopefully he continues to adjust. Ridiculous power and has a pretty good eye.

Matias kid has 2 hr tonight with 17 now

Is Dayton Moore still the gm if we don't sneak into the playoffs in 14?

So, I haven't followed this thread but who do we want the Royal's to get in the draft? Pitching at the top of the list?
