by Soria's Unibrow on Jul 17, 2009 10:14 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, but the problem isn't that we don't have big name players.
It’s that the Royals overpay for guys that are readily available everywhere.
The Betancourt deal is a perfect example of this. They go out and trade two prospects and take on salary. One week later, Julio Lugo is given his walking papers because no team has any interest in him.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
http://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?showforum=129
DFA'd
I didn’t think he had been outright released, has he?
(shows how much I care)
"Do they have people that tall in Mexico?"
No, yeah DFA'd.
Just saying he is available for pretty much nothing now.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
http://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?showforum=129
He could be had
for a lollipop at this point, yeah. And really, it would’ve been a pointless acquistion….but less pricey than Betancourt and without giving up anything.
"Do they have people that tall in Mexico?"
Not saying you think there is, but...
is there a point to the Betancourt trade?
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
http://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?showforum=129
Oh yeah, baby,
he’s going to be our shortstop for the next three years! That’s the point for Moore, I’m afraid.
No, there’s no point. I would understand acquiring a stopgap type guy like Lugo or whatever to fill in instead of Bloomquist et al, but sinking significant resources into bringing in an average-at-best player won’t help.
"Do they have people that tall in Mexico?"
and isn't Lugo...
um like better, even if he is older?

The thought of Yuni and Ichiro being scrambled in a transporter a la "The Fly" unsettles me,
Although a trading a Yuni-Ichiro hybrid (probably a league average ballplayer) for Dan Cortes and Derrick Saito would probably have been a fair trade all-around.

because his career numbers are pretty goddamn atrocious. but now i realize he has an impressive spring training, first month even, so that by the time he starts to really suck hard the team has no better option and just continues to pile the innings on him. see: him with the rangers

I like Teahen, and maybe he does need to be the one to stay over DDJ (haven’t worked it all out in my head) because of age, position, whatever…
I can’t ever remember Moore or another of his FO poeople saying anything good in public about DDJ the way they have about Teahen, Butler, and the assorted Moore imports.

DDJ has nothing moore covets
no steals

no batting average
SBs are a really small part of any players game, but if DDJ was better at stealing and worse at everything else, moore would love him
the arm thing is my favorite
Aggregate OF ARMs, 209 Royals (by UZR runs)
DDJ +5.1
Mark Teahen 0.3
MITCH 0.0
Willie B. -1.0
Freel -1.0
CoCo -4.3
Jose Guillen -4.6
As a side note, I’ve been reading up on baserunning late… while DDJ has never stolen, he _used- to be really good at taking the extra base. THrough 2007, Dan Fox had him as one of the top 15-20 guys in taking hte extra base per opportunity. Since then, though, he’s gone down hill. I wonder if it’s Owen, or just aging?

builds awesome bullpens.
I should’ve kept reading Dr. Seuss. It was better than this.
"Do they have people that tall in Mexico?"
But slayor,
I thought that when the pitchers did well, it’s Olivo, and when they do badly, it’s their fault?
"Do they have people that tall in Mexico?"
Dr. Seuss is awesome.

Who's a more awesome reliever who almost always sucks?
Bale or Cruz?

Man...i have to say... Cruz has been really disappointing to me this year. I was expecting more from that dude.

Yeah
I love how he acts like the Rays were simply GENIUS to move Howell to the pen like nobody has EVER thought of that before. He thinks the Royals made a smart trade because Howell was never going to be a good starter and they would have never thought of making him a reliever.
Wait…maybe he’s right. Plus Gathright was awesome. What was it? IchiJoey? Yeah. Right.

So, because Howell sucked for a year or two after the trade makes it ok.
If that isn’t company PR work, I don’t know what is.

hahahaha oh man i lov ethis team
we score 7 runs off a good pitcher, and we still manage to lose… on 2 unearned runs. gotta love it

I really wish I could get emotional and angry about this loss.
The fact that Soria wasn’t brought in with Crawford on base is baffling. Does he really need five fucking days off?
- W. Bloomquist homered to deep center
- P. Earth explodes
oh wel who gives a shit
if cruz can’t get one out there, he shouldn’t be on this team anyway, soria can’t bail all those pieces of garbage out… there are many reasons whywe lost this game and that’s only the tip of the iceberg

BTW
Trey finds work for Jose, who probably showed up around the time that we stopped scoring
