He was eating at some restaurant in Overland Park, and who walks in but Mike Aviles, the dude from the Jumbotron that interviews people in between innings, and some guy in a Royals polo. I guess they put that minor league fight on ESPN, and Mike got up in the middle of the restaurant and was like “I PLAYED WITH SOME OF THOSE GUYS!!”. I thought it was random.

Adam Eaton replaced him in the 3rd, and he'd only given up 2 runs
So it must be an injury.

let’s throw Olivo in there, address their catching need because they actually think he’ll do ok for them, and steal something from them. Who are their pitching prospects other than kennedy and hughes?

5 run lead, but he’s only pitched 2 times since the ASB. Twice!! Get the man some work.

Melky Cabrera would actually be a bit of a steal
he’s not even 24 yet. He still has time to improve.
The only huge problems are that Melky would be leaving his friend Robinson Cano, and that Melky isn’t very good as a RH batter. But this organization is pretty good with Dominican prospects.
Bannister for Melky would be a win for us.

But he has no power

He has as many homers this year as he had last year
Melky just doesn’t have any triples. But he had 8 triples last year, all of them on the road. And if he can hit the ball like he did in those games, he could get a few more triples in Kauffman stadium too.

It's actually weird
I think Butler will still be under .240 in BA and .300 OBP, but he will have 5 HRs. It’s like the month that John Buck hit .175 with 9 HRs.

Melky will be hitting the ‘prime’ of his career as a Royal. He’ll be out of the NY pressure and relax.

That could have been the best swing Butler has had in his major league career. Sit back on a pitcher’s pitch that was offspeed and put it off the pole. Put a dent in the pole.

Makes two of us
he’s great hitter and I couldn’t care less about the non-clutch crap that gets thrown around. I still have to hate him for being a Yankee, but it’s to the point where I think a lot of Yankee fans hate him more than I do somehow.

Impressive game for the Royals
1. Sufficient, competent start from the #5 SP
2. Very good relief pitching for 4 innings
3. Nice offensive showing (Dejesus, Aviles and Butler having great days)
This is what the Royals were supposed to do 80 times this season.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
