Royals 2009 Kansas City Royals Repository. - Page 67

All Royals All The Time!

After consultation with others who peruse the game threads we decided to create this as a repository for all things Royals. Minor league news, AL (ahem) Central (thanks Vonne) news and anything Royals can be found here.

alnorth will continue the game threads as usual. But if you locate something of interest.. ANYTHING.. deals on apparel, best ways in/out of the stadium, giveaways, great stories from this season or from seasons gone by, rumors, trades, anything.... feel free to post it here.

If a big story breaks, you can still start a thread about it. There is merely an all inclusive thread that will make a easy for us all to keep up with all things Royals.

Welcome! "Grab a Brew... don't cost nuthin"...[spills beer on feet]

Reading RC and one of their posters believes he is here to play CF for right now and be a bench player for depth, and honestly i'd rather have him start at CF than Maier right now. Atleast freel has a decent ops career and has speed and draws walks. Send Maier down or back to the bench where he belongs.

i think people are upset because this team has a nasty habit of acquiring terrible-to-mediocre players, and doesn't appear to be interested in signing or trading for people who are good at baseball.

is freel better than pena or hernandez? sure. but that's not going to have any impact on this team in the long run.

I don't think anyone is upset. It's just laughable that we're swapping one sack of shit for another. If some overall frustration with this joke of an organization bubbles over b/c of these moves, that's not at all surprising, IMO.

In a positive light this gets maier on the bench, who has had his shot in the majors imo.

This has to be a temp move for depth only and to setup others, it just has to be...

Maier, a former 1st-round pick. Seriously, this organization is such a ****ing embarrassment.

Oh well. I don't disagree with the intent of your post, though.

Yep. Catcher.

It's not a Royals selection unless the dude switches positions 4 times. Amazing since Greinke was drafted as a RF.

In other news brayan pena and yunel escobar are best friends....

Bingo

Maier has amounted to a heaping bag of nothingness. Color me unimpressed with his legit shot to be an everyday MLB player. I think it shows me that he should be sent packing outside of the Org and make some room for someone else to have their shot. Problem is, sadly, I can't think of one OF prospect in AA or AAA that we could call up that would be better than him..........

If we lose teahen he will be a good backup that we'll desperatly need to start lol

Actually there should be 2 roster moves...one because of this and Buck comes back to the roster today I believe, so one for him. TPJ and Hernandez should go. No way to I send B. Pena down right now.

At least this sack of shit might not stink as bad as the other sacks of shit we have!

The Cubs designated Freel for assignment Thursday after a disappointing 14-game tenure with the club. They traded Joey Gathright for Freel two months ago.
