Saturday Royals Links- Royals Sign Wil Myers

Jim Halpert: I mean it's just that, you know Pam and I are still dating so, and I just mean that things are going really well so I didn't want to see, you.
Karen: Oh things are going really well. Are they? They are? That's great that's so great. I wanna hear more about how happy you are, with Pam. Can you tell me more about that? Thank you so much for coming to Utica and breaking my copier and telling me how well things are going in your relationship, really. Thank you.(AP Photo/Duane Burleson)

Seriously, why is Wil Myers "Wil" and not "Will"? Unless his full name is Wilfredo, I'm going to officially demand that we do something about this.

    Buster Olney pretty much said that it is a lock that Strasburg will get signed...

    It was on ESPNradio this morning at about 8 so I didn’t hear all of it, but pretty much said something along the lines, that the Natinals know they can’t afford going two years without signing their top pick and that Strasburg (regardless of what his agent says) knows that it would be completely insane to turn down a $20 million dollar contract, which I guess would imply that that contract is on the table.

    too bad

    hopefully we’ll keep losing so we can ensure we get Harper. you hate to root against your team, but I think its safe to say we have nothing else to play for this year

    Yep, He's William
    William (Wil) Myers 2009
    3B C/1B/P/SS/OF R/R 6-3 190
    HS: Wesleyan Christian
    Hometown: Thomasville, NC
    Summer Team: Dirt Bags
    Fall Team: Dirt Bags
    College: South

    Gotta love that summer team. A lot of people put 2 l’s in Phil, and I let that bug me since there is only one in Philip. Phillip is now the more popular spelling for the name, and that is just wrong. Philip is a greek name meaning lover of horses; yes, I know, but at least it’s a real name. The last name Phillips is the only place the 2 l’s belong. At least Wil didn’t add anything that wasn’t there already or call himself Iam like people named Christopher who go by Topher.

    I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

    Why all the Wil hatred?

    Aren’t sabermetrics people or Baseball Prospectus people or some such intensely rabid Wil Wheaton fans? I don’t know why I think that… but if they are, then you can’t knock one Wil in favor of another Wil.

    I’m not sayin’, I’m just sayin’.

    My nephew's name...

    Is Wilson. We call him Wil.

    ...

    William is the most common and likely the oldest variation of this name, and it was shortened to Will

    I just don’t get the Wil

    of course you wouldn't

    just like I wouldn’t get someone being called Budybal

    how does he know that you're saying it with the right spelling?

    I'm not a sabermetrician, but I do play one at Driveline Mechanics.

    Today's Lineups Already

    A solid platoon of Bloomers and Mitch in the 2 hole; Mitch takes his turn today. BPJ batting LH catching today, A-Gor comfortable in the 8th spot ahead of Yu-Betcha, and Jakers cleaning up. What could go wrong?
