August could be a real roller coaster month. They play 10 of 13 against the A's and Giants, which will be brutal. Then they follow that up by playing the Twins, Rangers and Rockies, all currently last place teams.

Watching Jon Broxton throw to Brayan Pena in the Reds Nats game. It's 2012 Royals all over again!

What a terrible trade idea.

Yeah, I would hate to get an elite OF prospect for a two-month rental and a relief pitcher.

What was I thinking?

I think it's more of on their end, why they would give up an elite prospect for a two-month rental and a relief pitcher?

Depends what they think of their chances this year. As I noted, it's a long shot.

Hey Duncan:
You know anything about this Latin Dude?
Right hander.
I think his name is Romero, pitches in the California Penal League?

He might have some deceptive stuff, they say he's a real cut up in the locker room.

Not that it makes any difference, but these are the same Cleveland Indians that won 3 out of 4 from the Tigers last weekend.

The tribe did nothing really special to beat the Tigers in those games. They just took advantage of the bad tigers bullpen what you have seen this series is who the Indians are and there Front office still thinks this team can contend

After six, Angels lead the Tigers 3 - 0.

During the Royals five game win streak, Hosmer has had two at bats and went 0 - 2. Billy's bat seems to work better when he gets to play 1st.

So I think our trade wish list goes

1 Byrd
2 Rios

But about Josh Willingham as a 3rd option? Avg sucks but 350 OBP and 420 slug.

I'm not sure how well he would be in RF, but I would be he'd be much cheaper in prospects than the other two guys.

Not really

@JoshVernier610: Pinch-hit last night. Billy was 1-for-10 as starting 1B prior. RT @mdbbiggs seems to be hitting better since playing the field. Coincidence?

Oh, elite prospect? You mean like Moose (8), Hosmer (9) and Myers (10) were in 2011's rankings? Wow sign me up like yesterday.

The scout board is saying there was a Phillies scout at the game today. The speculation is that they're targeting Kelvin.
