theroyals have the meche injury handled perfectly...

if we trade him tomorrow

He's untouchable.

I assume that means he is part of the future. Glad we’re being cautious with the investment.

If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.

I THINK

the investment would be good to keep if the royals were still in contention, with the teams interested in him Dayton would be hard pressed not to trade him for some top flight talent

walking that many Twins is a real accomplishment

given their organizational hitting philosophy

TWINS just got WAR’d (or I guess their WAR isn’t as powerful as the Royals WAR)

Hells yeah!!

Perhaps the Twins manager

Should grow out his beard so he can look more like Santa Claus, just saying. His beard growing is full of doubt and this lack of power is become evident when running into the wall of Hillmans’ goat!!

Good win for the Royals.

Every win makes me think we’re about to start a hot streak and rip off 10 out of 12.

If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.

Olivo stats for June

.297/.316/.716, 8 HR, 24 K/0 BB, 22 for 74

I haven’t found a split to figure out how Olivo ranks for HR total

In conclusion.. trade him by the deadline so we can get something for him

Yes, TRADE HIM WHILE HE'S HOT!

And before someone watches him for a week or two and realizes how hideous is plate discipline is. Do it!!! Package him and Banny to Philly for Marson and Carrasco!

In other news

Now that he can’t beat up on the Royals, Khalil Greene is back on the DL with Anxiety. The Royals really are a cure to all ills.

Positive thoughts

Hochevar had a very good outing tonight and that’s what, three good ones out of his last four?

Meche supposedly is OK, although we know how that’s gone with other players.
