For those that get the reference, you'll understand when I say that The Process™ in this case is a bomb.  There are very few people of deserving to start on this team right now, and the bullpen is the biggest clusterfrak we've ever seen. I say blow the team up by calling up the maximum number of callups that we can and playing them all of September, regardless of the outcome.

Let's start with the current 40 man roster and guys that the Royals should take a look at:

Relievers: Carlos Rosa 

Infielders: Kila Ka'aihue, Tug Hulett

Outfielders: none

Carlos Rosa hasn't had a great year, but is he better than Jamey Wright or Kyle Farnsworth?  Probably.  Kila will come up and DH, as Billy Butler has earned the right to play first base this year and seems to have hit another gear after the ASB. 

Now let's look at the current 40 man roster, and take out the trash:

John Bannister, Roman Colon,  Mario Lisson.  Lisson just needs to be taken off of the 40 man roster.  I don't think he's considered a prospect at this point, and we shouldn't be worried about losing him in the Rule 5 draft.  Bannister and Colon are wastes of space that should be put on irrevocable waivers.  This clears 3 spots.  Guys on the 60 day DL also do not count as spots and we currently have 2 (Aviles, Crisp), let's make it 3 and move Waechter to it as well.  There are only 39 guys on the 40 man right now, so that's 1 more, for a total of 7 spots open to promote guys with.

Now the AAA roster, who should we call up that wasn't on the 40 man?  How about Lenny DiNardo, Jason Godin, and Disco Hayes on the pitching side, and Cory Aldridge, Scott Thorman, and Jordan Parraz in the outfield?  Shealy will have nowhere to play, he stays home.  That's 6 leaving 1 more spot.

On to AA.  Victor Marte, Federico Castaneda, and Rowdy Hardy are all interesting callups, though I think Rowdy needs to stay out of MLB for now, as he may get rocked.  The first 2 pitchers have 5 saves between them, really nice WHIPs, and SO/IP ratios around 1.  David Lough and Jeff Bianchi should come too.  So that's 3 too many.  I need to open up some more roster spots.

DFA Bale, Wright, and Josh Anderson.  Unless you want to move Pimentel and Barrera off the 40 man, which is doable as well.  Devon Lowery is also a possibility to leave the 40 man. 

Finally, we get to discuss playing time.  Obviously all new guys in the bullpen are favored for innings.  Screw all the current ones, except for Soria. 

Now for positional players, we've already discussed the Kila and Billy situation, they'll be holding down 1B and DH.  Brayan Pena will be the full time catcher.  Bianchi will replace Yuni at SS.  DDJ will get sporadic playing time the rest of the year, as we look to keep him healthy and rested.  Gordon and Teahen will split time at 3B to keep Alex rested and relaxed.  Mitch Maier will patrol CF most days, while Lough, Parraz, Aldridge, and Thorman patrol the corners.  Bianchi will take over for Yuniefi at SS, and Callaspo will stay at 2B as he has hit well enough this year to hold his spot.  Though I'm sure Bianchi could play 2nd and put Yuni at SS.  Guillen sits on the bench.

On any given day, the lineup could look like this:

DDJ - LF

Callaspo - 2B

Billy Butler - 1B

Brayan Pena - C

Kila Ka'aihue - DH

Alex Gordon - 3B

David Lough - RF

Jeff Bianchi - SS

Mitch Maier - CF

All of the sudden the Royals go from having 0 rookies debut this year, to 7 debuts if I counted right, maybe more.  At least this would be a team I'd be interested in watching.  I make no guarantees, except that this team will win at least 8 games in September.  Let's see what we've got, and get them on the field September 1st.  In reality, I think we'll be lucky to see more than a couple of these guys get the call first of all, and we'll be extremely lucky to even see those lucky few get a handful of ABs or IPs.
