Royals DFA Lumsden to make room for Barrera

Kind of surprised this was the only move.

Protecting him made sense

And Lumsden didn’t warrant protecting. BTW, today was the deadline for setting your 40-man roster to protect them in the Rule 5 draft.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

I have no problem with the move

and I’m not overly familiar with other rule v eligible royals, but I’m surpised Fulchino and Jason Smith survived.

And Mario Lisson

At least Lisson is young

You mean picked up in the rule 5 draft?

Isn’t it pretty rare for a player to get picked coming off of two horrible seasons? I don’t think anyone will take him, and if they did, I wouldn’t care for a second.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Not true NYRoyal!

It took you longer then a second to write that you did not care (to show interest) therefore you did care. :)

Go Royals!

Kinda silly that Fulchino and Smith are protected

While guys like Blake Johnson, Chris Nicoll and Jarrod Plummer are not, but then again, I don’t think its at all likely that any of these unprotected guys get taken, so it likely won’t matter much.

Are all three of those guys eligible for the Rule 5 draft?

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

That was my impression

Smith...

looks to be number 4 on the depth chart right now for middle infielder. I guess we do need to trade for a middle infielder.

Go Royals!

Little Poppy Needs

To go away by whatever means necessary.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

Or take one in the Rule 5!

I actually kinda like minor league FA Callix Crabbe. He can draw walks, and he fits into our “funny alliterative name” philosophy.
