ChiefsPlanet - Royals 2013 Kansas City Royals Repository Thread

Why do people think Utley is going to fetch much of anything on the trade market? The dude is 36 and in the last year of his contract. It's a half-year rental. He's playing pretty well, but this isn't a James Shields type deal. Also Utley's HALF season will cost 7.5 mill and the Phillies have to find a way to save payroll after that foolish deal they gave Howard.

I don't think he'll be prohibitively expensive - probably a B prospect and a lotto ticket... but Ibanez would probably be even cheaper. C prospect and a lotto ticket type.

Greg Holland has struck out 43.8% of the batters he's faced in 2013. That's the best in baseball, and 5th best (min: 25 IP) ALL TIME.

So the Giants got an out today by hitting out of order. I don't think I have ever seen that before. Such a Royals things to do.

We've done it.

So, in terms of royals prospects, what are we looking at?

Nice thanks. I would trade anyone on that list sans kyle smith.

I still really want ibanez, but I will shut up now because it probably won't happen.

Ibanez would probably require playing Alex Gordon in RF, because Ibanez is freakin awful defensively.

Went to the game last night and was a little surprised to see ALL of the HyVee stuff. I love HyVee and spend most of my income at the one a minute up the street from me, but I had no idea that they own half of the Royals/Chiefs. They used to have the HyVee upper-level seats, but now they sponsor almost everything. Crazy.

So given what I think might happen over this next week of road games and the window after the All-star game, are we buyers, sellers or stay puters if we are 7-10 games under .500 at the trade deadline?

I'm only interested in buying what also helps us in 2014. Not interested in two-month rentals.

I'm glad Ibanez is having success. I hated to see him playing for the Yanks, but he's home now in Seattle, and deserves a nice end to his career. He's a class act.
