So, we like this move? Yes?

If it means the end of the Ibanez era I'm all for it.

Willingham figures to share designated hitter duties with Raul Ibanez while Billy Butler mans first base with Eric Hosmer (hand) out. The 35-year-old has hit just .209/.343/.380 since the beginning of last season but has slugged 26 homers over 613 at-bats. He'll give the Royals some extra pop down the stretch.

Would love to see him return to 2012 form...... we could use a guy that has popped 35 dingers before in a season.

Yes, please. I never understood why in tarnation they got him anyway.

So was Willingham about to be placed on waivers?

I don't understand how we made a trade after the trade deadline had passed. :shrug:

(Yes I'm a n00b)

C3HIEF3S 08-11-2014 05:35 PM

Go Pirates!

He was placed on waivers and the Royals claimed him and worked out a trade, I believe.

Pirates up 4-1 in the 1st inning with JV on the mound for the kitties.

Archie F. Swin 08-11-2014 05:36 PM

Marte belts a 3 run triple to put the Pirates up 3 to 1.
