3 out of the last 3 5 out of the last 7 10 out of the last 32 It'll be interesting what we do next week when Shane Costa returns. Reggie is due back on Friday. Both Kerry Robinson and Aaron Guiel have been in the lineup for this stretch run and deserve to be in KC more than Costa. I'd rather have Guiel over K-Rob, but as much as I'm not a K-Rob fan, he's done pretty well up here. Hell, Sanders in left, Robinson in Center (DeJesus whenever he returns), and Guiel in right sure sounds a lot better to me than any tandem that Emil Brown is part of. |

A scorching two games above last year's record after 32 games...
'05 Royals: 8-24 '06 Royals: 10-22 BTW, "scorching" was the adjective an old girl friend of mine used to describe...ahhh, never mind...Go Royals!?!

Reggie will get back and play some good ball, and i think that they need to keep kerry robinson in center because he is a freaking speedy mother ****er

Costa is not only about 10 years younger than either of those two scrubs, but his batting average in his 20 or so games is higher than any regular player on the roster. Costa has upside. Guiel is someone who is in the twilight of his career and just about any other organization in the league never would have floated to the major leagues. Kerry Robinson? I heard on the radio last night that Grudz was teaching him to bunch in batting practice. TEACHING HIM TO BUNT. He is a light-hitting, speed outfielder. He's probably played 10 years of professional baseball - and he can't even bunt? Not to mention judge a fly ball or remember to wear sunglasses? Sending a hot, young player down and keeping a .250 hitting old guy would be the dumbest thing since New Coke. |

I'd put Costa in center and have Guiel/Stairs play against righties and Brown/Huber against lefties. Although I think Huber might be the one to get sent down when Costa returns.

He seems like he could be the 4th outfielder on the targeted team of the future in a few years. |

The guy in his mid 30s has almost 1000 ML at-bats. I think it's safe to assume he isn't going to turn into Tony Gwynn. |

I'm not saying we're a great team now, or even better than we were at the start of the year, but at least they are playing like they care. And until that ends, let's not mess it up - except for the fact that Minkeivicz (sp) has no business being in the lineup, let alone batting 3rd. |

Guiel doesn't desereve to be an everyday major leaguer. I won't waver from that even if he scores the next 5 game winning runs.
