Regarding Starling:

Painful to look at the guys taken in the next ten picks after him:
Archie Bradley (tearing it up, though Bundy got all the attention from that draft)
Francisco Lindor (Mondesi, just 2 years olders)
Javier Baez (exploded last summer. SS with big-time bat)
Jose Fernandez (Cuban emigre is already in the majors)

The Royals were linked pretty heavily to Bradley before the draft.

It's only 7 games/28 PAs so far this year, but Starling is 2-for-26 with 0 XBHs, 2 BBs and 11 Ks.

I saw a tweet the other day that said the scouting reports on Starling are like "the soundtrack to a snuff film."

He was fine in Rookie ball last year, though. So cross your fingers.

Everybody knew Bubba was a boom or bust kinda guy. I was fine with taking him. We'll see.

I love the stadiums right where they are and I apologize for being from Kansas...I guess...:shrug:...well no.

Bubba Starling won't start hitting until we move the stadium downtown.

He's from Johnson County, y'know....

LMAO

Is this gonna be like when we passed on Linecum and Kershaw for Hochevar?

Jackson County footed the bill, they get first dibs on tickets and the stadium should stay right where it is. When Clay/Platte/Wyandotte/Johnson all pitch in, we'll put it smack dab in the middle.

Who was the Bubba like guy we took in the official WORST DRAFT EVER? I can't remember the first name? Something Crosby...


Anyway, it was a stupid pick from day one. For every Beltran, you get a bunch of shitty players that do nothing.

Speaking as someone who never lived in KC and has always gone to the K driving either from rural north MO or CoMO, I love the location because it was easy to access off the interstates, and I never really cared about bars/restaurants before or after the game. I had a 2-hour drive and just wanted to get home.

I'm not able to see more than one game a year now, so I don't count, but I'd like to know the stats on how many folks from outside KC attend how many games a year.

Pretty much this.

ROSCOE!

No falming here. Kansas City with its sprawl is built for a light rail system. Unfortunately, the powers that be that actually "run" the city don't know their asses from holes in the ground, and have shown they have no idea on how to get it donw, even though the ****ing populace voted to green light the project.

I still don't understand why they don't build the area up around the stadiums. There are plenty of woodland areas that can be made into destination places. Bad zoning, I'm guessing?

:clap:

Kudos to him, I guess. Can't blame the kid for front office incompetence.
