They will make a feel good, underdogs, comeback miracle movie about this season after the things we do these next three months.
It's got it all. The star player finally figuring it out. The magic sauce. The legend returning. The rookie nobody really wanted at first because the rookie we really wanted got traded. The absolute low point in the season where no one was good for a month. Parting ways with the "nice" guy with a "nice" smile. The constant struggle of one run games. The script is writing itself. This move will have a better ending than Moneyball. |

Royals need to be buyers and sellers. Look for a blockbuster deal for any of our current players while trying to field a team that win the rest of the year, while building next year's squad. I know a bunch of you will piss and moan about it, but **** off we need some wins.

That sounds really awesome, actually. |
How about kelly johnson at second next year? Affordable and he has 15 hrs this year.
|
So I think we won't hear the phrase "Mathmatically eliminated" until the last week. That is kinda cool.

you have to think there will be a 2-3 week period where Butler, Moose, Grodon and Escobar will go on hitting streaks.

So a few days ago it was said (on 810 & twitter, maybe on here as well) that Boston scouts were looking at Hoch. Would you trade him off for Middlebrooks? He can play any infield position and has some pop. It would for sure be a flyer, but he would be better than Getz/EJ platoon. Or do we pretty much already have Middlebrooks in the form of Gio?
Just was screwing around with the ESPN trade app and thought of him for some reason. Serves two purposes..gets rid of Hoch and gives us a different option than Getz |
Quote:
I don't see any defensive records for him anywhere but 3B, though. Don't think he really is an option at SS or 2B. Middlebrooks is a far superior prospect to Gio. Former top 50ish prospect who hit .288/.325/.500 in about 1/2 a season last year. |

Unless you think the Sox see Hoch as a starter. :D |

They would be tough to part with, but I think I could live with that trade in the end. :D |
This is the struggling Royals fan in me saying this - I have a real fear that we are going to lose the series against the Sox, if not get outright swept. Why? Because Royals, that's why.

This would be the good time for that 15-5 stretch that GMDM keeps saying this team can run...

Wade Davies tonight. Ice pick ,please.

David Lough is starting to remind me of Aaron Guiel in 2003.
Guiel seemed like a suitable temporary solution in the outfield until we could bring in somebody better. But, months later, we all slowly started to realize that he was one of the most important players on the team. |

Danny Duffy should be up already unless there is some mlb service time issue. I would also be fasttracking zimmer. Stretching out will smith is another viable option for 2014. Also, we could look at stretching out coleman and/or crow next year.

Why is Duffy not an option at this point?

What about Yordano Ventura? Is he ready?

Rays are 22-9 since Wil Myers has been in uniform.
Tim Kirchen just called them the best Rays team ever. |

Will Myers. FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP.

It's why Myers absolutely should have been kept. You can't expect every prospect to work out. The odds were at least one of Moose and Hosmer would fail. The more prospects the better.

I don't even think Will Smith is starting in AAA right now, which he should be.
I'd think if they trade Santana you could bring up Duffy (even though he hasnt looked good yet imo) and/or Will Smith to add to the rotation. Davis inevitably will be put in the pen |
Why is everyone so high on Will Smith all the sudden?
|
Quote:
But Myers has been so good it's impossible not to watch. |
Quote:
i just don't get why they've taken him out of the AAA rotation, he was doing fine |

The Royals should go for it this year. Chances are this is the closest the Royals are going to get. They are due 5 Tommy Johns and 3 lasik surgery's in the offseason.

What about Chris Dwyer? Is he an option?
|
James Shields last night was what this whole team needed. A dude who refuses to back down.

It's Wade Davis v Chris Sale tonight...:eek: Sux 8 Royales with Cheese 1 |

What?! Wade Davies era is what??! **** you GMDM!! :cuss: |
Rays have won 20 of 23.

I don't know how anyone can declare Myers a stud already? How quickly we forget what Moose and Hoz did when they hit the MLB stage. One has regrouped a bit since then but the other is lying flat on his face.
|
New rule: anyone who brings up Myers must also bring up Lough. Who is batting over .300 and playing excellent defense in RF as proven by the advanced metrics. Not sure how long Lough will continue it but if he's really another DeJesus.....does it matter if we gave up a Mike Cameron?
|
I'd feel a lot better about Lough if his OBP weren't so dependent upon his average.

Regardless, Lough has been more than adequate stepping in for Dayton's son. |

I would feel a lot better if Lough was the 4th outfielder though.

Royals fans continuing to hate on a player pulling his weight (no pun intended)

Santana is a "fringe 3 or number 4" ? Is Hamas nuts?

On paper, this is one of the most lopsided matchups all year. While I'd love to win and keep rolling, I almost want Davis to stand out as the sore thumb that he is so we can bring up Duffy or even Zimmer.

Quote:
Right now, there will be a lot of candidates for 2014 rotation spots. Shields and Guthrie are givens. After them, you have: Yordano Ventura Kyle Zimmer Danny Duffy Felipe Paulino Chris Dwyer Luke Hochevar -- I KNOW, I know, but I guarantee you that Moore looks at him as a rotation candidate. I think their whole strategy for dealing with Hoch this season is to improve his confidence with runners on base. And, that's excluding Davis whom you know DM thinks is a starting candidate as well. |
Longoria was hitting second today for the Rays. One guess who was third.
:( |
Will you guys please stop with the Wil Meyers complaining. You're grown men whining, he is gone. Get over it.
