I was somewhat against it at the time

but the decision to move DDJ to LF looks like a good one

his defense is a big part of his value and he got a lot of that back in 2009

So I guess what you're saying is

that smiling son of a bitch has been sandbagging for the last 4 years

i definitely did not think he was the 6th best OF in the AL in 2005

I can tell you that

by royalsreview on Oct 8, 2009 4:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Easily the most under appreciated player on the team

He gets way too much criticism on here from some people.

My favorite Royal I think.

can you imagine our OF without him?

I'd rather not...

teahen - mitch/anderson - guillen

yay!

by royalsreview on Oct 8, 2009 4:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

To be fair

If DDJ left, i’m sure Dayton would replace him. Add Willy Tavares into that outfield and away we go!

by kcbottom9th on Oct 8, 2009 4:56 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Imagine our OF without him?

Yeah, pretty much our infield, only further away.

Baseball's that swingy stick game, right?

Nicely done

Time to turn this green

I agree

I think he gets way too much criticism. He hits for a decent average, has a little pop in his bat , and plays good defense. I’d move Guillen before I’d move DeJesus.

the fact that you even put them in the same sentence shows that davey should be gone....

nothing to do with my davey hatred…but he’s useless for this organization..as he has been for the past year and a half…he’s worth more gone than he is with us

But he smiles too much and fakes injuries

So he sucks

And he can't steal bases!

We need a true lead-off hitter®.

by hippdoghipp on Oct 8, 2009 4:46 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Exactly. His pick-offs and caught stealing demoralize the team.

It’s all about intangibles, baby!

It's too bad that his baserunning declined this year.

And the pick-offs are extremely annoying.

But he’s been a good player for a long time. We could use more DDJs.

we wouldnt have had a team to put on the field for the last 3 weeks

if we had a bunch of dejesus’

the team we fielded was hardly better than nothing.

Pecota, watch over us.

by castille on Oct 8, 2009 11:11 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

so...our team is nothing with davey...

and nothing without davey….

why is he still here?

Fire Everyone

by billybeingbilly on Oct 9, 2009 2:39 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Because he's a good baseball player

And it’s good to have good players on your team.

Just another one of Trey's acqusitions keeping this team afloat

Just imagine if Allard hadn’t left the cupboard so bare!

DDJ is a Herk Robinson holdover, kind of

Drafted by Robinson, signed by Baird. Which shocked me. He’s been around a long time.

by kcbottom9th on Oct 8, 2009 10:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

is herk still alive? in baseball?

by royalsreview on Oct 8, 2009 10:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yes

With the Royals.

Eight years after being overthrown as G.M.

Thank you, Glass/Moore for bringing accountability and professionalism back to the Royals!

Get treated. Royally.

Ummm...DDJ is the prettiest on the team...

…so I’d just as soon we kept him. He makes sitting out in section 103 a lot more fun.

Is this Minda?

I used to work with an old man that told me. Son, every workplace has a dumbass, if you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.

The first game we went to this year, my husband and I sat out in section 103 (had to try the new seats!). He was teasing me about having a perfect view of DeJesus, and as he did that, a young woman ran up the aisle, stood right behind DDJ, took a picture of his butt and then ran off. My husband thought it was hilarious and it did make me feel like less of a stalker.
