Rany Chimes In... Finally

Remember that guy who writes really awesome blog posts about the Royals? He's back.

Rany gives us his thoughts on all the happenings since he said "I'm done", including the Teahen trade, GMDM's coveting of players with low service-time and the training staff. It's a great (long) read. Savor it b/c he might not write again for a while.

Rany's logic is so sound...

I can’t ever think of a column where I didnt’ agree with him after reading it.

I love this quote:

“That’s a tall order for Kevin Seitzer, but after sticking Seitzer with the likes of Mike Jacobs, Miguel Olivo, and Yuniesky Betancourt over the past year, a project like Fields must feel like a remedial assignment. "

I just don't think he should say

There’s no way.

If there’s a Dayton, there’s a way.

My favorite part

being “torn” betweeen Law/Cameron vs. Kahrl/Sheehan

that’s like not knowing whose judgment to trust more: Jack Z. or Dayton Moore

Christina did give you a shoutout not too long ago by linking your catcher's defense piece

Plus, Rany is not going to go out of his way to criticize the BP gang.

Kahrl did too (but only referred to you as "others" who have looked at catcher defense)

Appropriately, it came within a discussion of Miguel Olivo:

[Olivo’s] receiving skills are just flat-out awful, per some fine work done by Brian Cartwright before the season, and followed up on by others after this season.
