Hey, we're winning!

Trying to convince a big name free agent to play in KC given al of their problems.....

Is about the same as trying to convince a premium euro club player to come to play in the MLS. Aint happening.

Of course, then Beckham got loaned out

and now looks out of shape. And meanwhile, Donovan (rightly) became captain again.

by Soria's Unibrow on Jul 17, 2009 10:14 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

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.

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 +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?

We did make him a "promise" this off season.

Is it his defensive skills or his batting eye? Or…is that he can stop a guy from charging the mound? So many qualities that make my initial question silly.

Hillman should've brought in the well-rested Soria

but if Cruz can’t protect that lead then he is fucking useless. I can’t believe we gave up a second rounder for THAT, even though most of us liked the move at the time.

Never root for losses.

Its best just to stop following your team if you’re rooting for losses. Its not like we have done anything with a top five pick recently anyway.

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.
