Royals 2009 Kansas City Royals Repository. - Page 78

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]

This organization has shown time and time again they cannot handle the tough questions.

The people in this front office have been around winning organizations. We know what a contending team is supposed to look like! /Dayton Baird as scans the stats for next year's FAs with the lowest OBP/

That said, you don't fugging make strides "getting there" by continually signing guys that have no speed, short on defense, poor Baseball IQ and shit for OBP.

Well, he should had known this before making the acquistion of Jacobs, trading for Ryan ****ing Freel and Yuniesky I Suck Ass Betancourt.

These moves are not the type I expect Dayton to be making, salary constraints be damned.

For our ML payroll to be over $70M, we will need either to draw over 5 million fans or receive $200 million in revenue sharing. /David Glass/

Sure-Oz · 07-13-2009, 06:32 PM

David Glass built the stadium, the problem is the fans still come and enjoy games. Maybe he'll take notice when no one is at the new park....he is a dogshit owner, i hope someone eventually takes over when he's gone cause its just a rotting nest.

Decided to subject myself to the Dayton Moore interview ---- he starts off talking about Bettencourt. He actually said that two years ago Bettencourt was considered more highly regarded than Alex Gordon and Billy Butler. Seriously. Wow. I'll have to go back to my Baseball Prospectus from that year, but I find it incredibly hard to believe that he was more highly regarded than Alex freaking Gordon.

Coach · 07-13-2009, 06:45 PM

Considering in 2008, Betancourt walked only 3.0% of the time, the worst percentage in Major League Baseball, and his strikeout rate is 7.5%.

Yuck. Sorry.

It snuck up on me. I was just innocently driving to work. Surprised to hear Moore, and figured he'd primarily be defending the new acquisition. Didn't expect the A-bomb that he dropped about payroll and all the implicit whining and excuses.

It honestly ruined my morning.

No shit, alex gordon was >***************

Coach · 07-13-2009, 06:50 PM

But IIRC, Dayton said he would have not came to KC, if he wasn't assured of having a higher payroll, didn't he?

Well to be honest...

Our POS owner is scared now that the moves DM has made with his money hasn't done shit for the organization so now i expect him to be a penny pinching bitch. This team goes as our owner does, DM, Hillman, Baird etc will never be the ultimate problem, just the scapegoat. Our owner doesn't care about Kansas City Baseball....he needs to be called out big ****ing time. Show up to ONE ****ing game, seriously you POS or sell it to someone

Coach · 07-13-2009, 06:59 PM

**** David Glass and his family. He's been cutting corners and making untold millions for years and years. Forbes magazine estimated Glass' yearly profits from the Royals at $20 million. Jeez, and we wonder why we ****ing suck?

Looks like we, the Royals fans, are very ****ing lucky to have an owner willing to instantly slash the budget of the scouting department, willing to compromise the draft by selecting players based on "signability," willing to begin each year with a promise of a youth movement and a self-defeating pledge of playing .500 ball and willing to pocket millions of dollars in profit.

Real ****ing lucky.
