Like I'll roll through some of their guys..on a good team this is what these guys do... Buck-backup Gload-nice backup/pinch hitter Pena-probably not even on a roster Gathright/Dejesus-both of these guys should not be on the same ML roster and are likely best suited as 4th OF's Teahen-still doesn't produce like a corner OF does and likely would sit on a good team Some of the guys I'm not even listing are young guys we don't know much about, they just have guys who don't hit for their positions especially in the OF and at 1st. |

What do you want me to say?
I'm sorry you can't have 2 of your 3 OF's hitting less than 20 HR's in the AL unless you got guys in the infield who produce at OF rate and the Royals don't. You will not win games in the AL that far below average production. |

It's the 2nd week of the season. Odds are the offense is going to get better, as often happens in baseball when the weather warms... and the pitching numbers will possibly drift back a bit. Who knows though. In reality there's probably not too much to change other than Gload at 1st. Guys like Butler and Gordon are just going to have growing pains. Guillen is probably going to get his numbers. Teahen has quietly been very solid so far. Gathright is stealing bases. There are a lot of pieces there to work with. But it's only the 2nd week.
But then again, if given the choice, I'd rather have great pitching and defense... that's what usually gets you somewhere, as any Royal fan would know by now. |

These guys are starting to look too much like last year. I hope Hillman nips that in the bud. We need to be scoring more. Losing is one thing. Scoring 1 run in 3 games is Buddy Bell type BS.

Yes. Too inconsistent with the hits and too many pop flys or ground outs. Little bit of bad hitting luck but overall we just look weak at the plate.

I don't think no matter what he says he's gonna make them score a bunch of runs, it's a blah lineup.

that was pretty selfish of gullien not to atleast take one pitch and try to get on base even if he hit's one towards I-70 it wouldn't have tied the game
