Moving Soria
Looking forward to 2009, when that will happen.

Nomo got hit hard
Far more interesting news in the Star this morning (I haven't seen anybody else comment on this yet): the Dodgers are reportedly interested in Esteban German as a backup for Jeff Kent. While Dayton says he hasn't heard anything from LA, and we are already short on good OPB guys, now seems the perfect time to deal German, with Callaspo filling almost the exact same role on the roster. That would open up a permanent spot for one of the on-the-bubble bats (Shealy, Huber, or possibly Player of the Spring Damon Hollins, aka Emil 2.0), and give us a potential mid-level prospect(?) in return.

4 & 5 Starters
John Bale
Luke Hochevar
I know we'd like Hoch to get a few more innings in AAA, but Tomko is a joke and Nomo is a bad joke.

I'd be shocked
I'm sensing DLR's days are numbered. I agree that Bale is starting to look like the #5 starter.

Not really sure
Hopefully JDLR can be dealt to a team needing a reliever.
by RoyalsRetro on Mar 11, 2008 3:35 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Because
- Because we have at least one open spot in the starting rotation.
- Because this team is still rebuilding.
- Because he's shown some flashes of brilliance as a starting pitcher.
- Because he has great stuff including a plus fastball, plus curveball and a good change.
Now, if his stuff and/or control really look crappy all spring, then he might not deserve a spot on the 25-man roster, much less in the rotation. I just wouldn't write him off because of the stats of prior seasons when he has talent and youth and their are open spots on the pitching staff.

Nunez's value
by NYRoyal on Mar 13, 2008 12:06 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah
This only made sense if Moore thought he could re-sign Milton. I'm not sure Dayton even offered a contract to Bradley this offseason, but that may have been because he was upset with how Bradley nixed the trade.
I'd really like for us to hold on to Nunez, because I think between Soria and Leo we will have our 4th starter and a competent closer. (Not sure which would be which.)
I guess if we can find get a new shortstop, like Dodger's Hu, or someone like Wladimir Balentien, then I'd be okay with unloading Nunez. I don't know how realistic a trade offer that is, though.
