Royals trying to acquire Ryan Shealy

Marco Polo · 07-27-2006, 07:18 AM

The Denver Post is reporting that the Royals have offered Jeremy Affeldt for the power first baseman.

I would LOVE if KC got him. He could be our cornerstone 1B. Go get him DM!

then we'd have a clusterfock at the corner IF positions with him, Teahen, Gordon and Huber.

As long as dayton's got a plan i guess...

Huber is in the outfield now.

if Teahan's hitting continues, he could move to 1st to make way for Gordon, or vice versa.

The beautiful thing is that being in the AL one of them can DH.

I am a diehard Rockies fan (yes, a few of us exist...) and I can tell you that Shealy would be a very nice pickup for you. Personally, I wish we would trade Todd Helton and let Shealy start, seeing as Helton is struggling, but I'm afraid it might be too late for anyone to want to take on Helton's contract. Still, Shealy is a big guy that can hit for both average and power while not striking out a ton like most big hitters. As for the guy that ridiculed his 2 HR in 91 ABs last season, it was his MAJOR LEAGUE DEBUT, so cut the guy a little slack if he didn't start dominating right away. What you should be focusing on from those 99 AB is the fact that he got 30 hits, good for a .330 average. As he gets used to Major League pitching, he homers will come.

As a Rockies fan living in Kansas City, I'm torn over this deal because I want to see KC get a good first baseman of the future, yet the names being mentioned as going to the Rockies in a deal are less than inspiring...

Sorry about THAT.

If the Royals can't get Shealy, I'm all for Teahan moving to first. I don't know the exact stats but he seems to have a lot of errors.

I'm not that familiar with Ryan Shealy. Do you have a scouting report on him?

What's up with Ken Harvey's rehab?? Anybody know?

Yeah, he's still a career minor leaguer.

Harvey's just never been the same since he was hit in the back with a relay throw. One of my all-time favorite Royals memories.

MY favorite Ken Harvey memory was when he hit that game winning HR at home (I forget the team we were playing) but IIRC it was either the bottom of the 9th or in extra innings. I think it was buck night or something to where the "K" was rocking that night. That was such a great atmosphere to watch a game and I can only imagine what it would be like if we had a playoff game there.
