Royals Link Roundup: Let the Freel Era Begin

by royalsreview on Jul 7, 2009 10:15 AM EDT in News Comment 23 comments

Man's search for meaning continues, with the latest point of investigation the curious acquisition of Ryan Freel. Not surprisingly, it seems the best answer is the one which proffers the least: we'll just have to wait and see, but probably the best explanation lies in a future event we can't currently foresee.

Farney may be blarney

but Freel is for real: speed, defense, and personality all in one package.

And not only that but also: cash considerations, all for a PTBNL. Beat that deal, doubters.

Soon he'll be in charge of player development over there

And after that, anything’s possible.

He must be traveling on now, ‘cause there’s too many places he’s got to see.

Also, Lance Armstrong about to grab the yellow jersey.

interesting snippet

from Dutton’s Star article

The Royals scouted Freel when he went 10 for 24 in a seven-game rehab assignment at Class AAA Iowa. He played just four games after rejoining the Cubs, going one for 10, prior to being designated for assignment.

I guess I kind of assumed this guy just sort of fell in our lap when he appeared on the DFA list. But, apparently not, we’ve been shopping for this guy?

Fuck This Team. Period.

810 reports

Luis Hernandez DFAed to add Freel to the 25-man roster.

The .090 hitter who commits errors on the routine plays is always much better than the .200 player who…well, we haven’t seen him enough to know, but, can he be worse?

TPJ’s reign of terror continues!!

Yeah, it was a stupid screen name.
