I don't suppose signing Ibanez would be a prelude to sending Hosmer to Omaha for a spell.

PH, can play multiple positions if for some freaky reason we need him to. Veteran presence with postseason experience is probably the biggest thing.

Leaked: 10 Months Of The Houston Astros' Internal Trade Talks

This stuff fascinates me. I already posted the stuff about Stanton but there are some Royals stuff in here too.

Quote:
10/22/2013 - KC said no to Binford or Pinto and responded with Ogando or Diekroeger. We said no. [Stearns] asked for Jack Lopez.
Quote:
11/5/2013 - COL is looking for a corner bat (they bid $63 on Abreu), a starter and bullpen help. They want to keep their core together and so would rather address their needs through free agency, but they may be pushed into trading Dexter Fowler. They have received inquiries (KC is one) and aren't ruling it out.
Quote:
11/7/2013 - [Stearns] spoke to [Royals AGM] Dean Taylor: DT said their first priority is to keep their current SP in place. They would like to bring back Santana and Chen but don't know if that's possible. They expect their payroll to be at $85MM next year. They would also like to add a bat in RF.

Omaha, no. Most certainly will see him get atleast a game off every week now

LOL, the Royals fans on Facebook are so intelligent. Check out these comments on the Ibanez signing:

"Now bench Butler."
"Bye Bye Butler!!"
"We have to have Raul as our starting right fielder."
"maybe a DH that can actually hit the ball..."
"They need to stick Ibanez in and sit Butler. He isn't worth what he's being paid."
"Even if it doesn't work, at least they tried"
"YEEEES. A good RIGHT FIELDER! Took us long enough"

Sounds like the typical fan that calls into KC sports talk shows.

The only thing that prevents me from declaring this signing totally pointless, is that Ibanez did somehow OPS almost .800 and hit 29 HR last year at the age of 41. He's sucked so far this season, but he could be worth a shot.

I have a sinking suspicion that if Ibanez hits, it is Butler, not Hosmer, who will be on the chopping block (or trading block, more likely).

I'd be happy if they'd just slide his worthless ass down a few spots in the Order. Him batting second is ****ed - he needs fewer PA's, not more.

Cain - R
Gordon - L
Butler - R
Perez - R
Hosmer - L
Escobar - R
Moustakas - L
Infante - R
Dyson - L

Won't be any worse than Maxwell - and certainly more versatile.

Fansy the Famous Bard 06-30-2014 01:01 PM
They want Cain in Center where his talents are best suited, he's just so valuable as a CenterFielder defensively... dyson can't play RF... Ibanez can hold it down until Ao-i-just-K'd get's back.

Raul's a placeholder, and let's Dyson do what he does best - Pinch run in the 8th for Butler.

WhawhaWhat 06-30-2014 01:01 PM
Remember when the Royals let Ibanez walk so that they could sign Juan Gonzalez instead?

I totally disagree with this. Dyson is batting over .300 against RHP. He is good defensively with his speed. Since Ibanez and Dyson are both left handed, I'd rather have Dyson playing than Ibanez.

*sigh*

Billy Butler in June: .330/.392/.451

siberian khatru 06-30-2014 01:21 PM
Dexter Fowler would be a great platoon partner for Dyson.

He's a switch-hitter who is hitting .333/.426/.481 vs. LHP this year, and .299/.390/.433 in his career.

EDIT: Well, except for his salary.
