Game 11 Lineup at ChiSox (3/15) - Greinke vs. Buerhle - 9:05 CT
by MinnesotaRoyal on Mar 15, 2010 10:17 PM EDT
317 comments
Late game tonight at 9:05 CT on MLB.TV and MLB Network. Both recently-acquired former Sox will make the start against their old team.
Unnecessary Mike Jacobs update: at the time of writing this, he's 3-for-12 with 2 jacks, 2 Ks, and 5 walks. I didn't realize he could walk that much.
If you haven't seen it, Rany has a new article up on the Royals left-handed prospects here.
And for those that aren't around KC to check it out, the logo on the back of the CrownVision was finished today, though, as some others commented, it looks weird because of the reversed colors from the old board (best picture I could find).
Lineup against the Sox:
1. Pods - CF
2. Kendall - C
3. DDJ - LF
4. Billy - 1B
5. Guillen - DH
6. Maier - RF
7. Fields - 3B
8. Yuni - SS
9. Getz - 2B
P - Greinke

Nationally televised, so they'd better bring their A-game
I’m glad I get to see Greinke pitch. I hope he plunks AJP.

Maybe Farnsworth will come in
and tackle AJ. We can only hope.

Found it almost by mistake on the digital cable
Even there they overwhelm you with Yankees and Red Sox games.
With Ankiel's ankle "soreness"...
is this the first time that we’ve seen DDJ – LF, Pods – CF, and Maier – RF alignment in the outfield? Defensively, I don’t hate it….. (talking specifically about the OF here)
Tension is the enemy. - Charlie Lau
by aHorseWithNoName on Mar 15, 2010 4:54 PM EDT reply actions
I think that is a bizarre OF alignment
If Pods is on the field, the only place for him is LF. I think both DDJ and Maier are better defensively in CF. So to have those three players in the OF with Maier in RF and Pods in CF is inexplicable.
The immoderate moderator
I guess with DDJ's noodle arm
he should be in LF or CF, Maier could really be anywhere, and Pods shouldn’t be in CF. So, really, switch Pods and DDJ and it’s better, but I’ll take this over Jose anywhere. Could be worse.
by MinnesotaRoyal on Mar 15, 2010 5:08 PM EDT up reply actions
"Could be worse."
That’s about what I meant by “don’t hate it”. These 3 should at least cover the area. I’d like it less in a “real” game, but don’t mind it in ST.

I don't mind anything in ST
…as long as what happens in ST bears no relation to what will happen in the regular season. Unfortunately, I think these mistakes are telling. I think the CF depth chart goes 1) Ankiel, 2) Podsednik. And that is so stupid it’s sad.
The immoderate moderator
Can't disagree with you there
so stupid it’s sad
This could replace “it all happens here” as the Royals’ slogan this year.

Is Crow pitching tonight? Any word on other pitchers?
Pods in CF over Maier is ridiculous. Maier is their best option in CF and has played as well as anyone in ST. At least BA is playing so poorly that Maier shouldn’t get exposed to waivers but hey this is GMDMs team and it’ll probably happen anyway.
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
I've only heard that Soria will throw.
I would lean toward not expecting Crow to pitch, but it has been several days since we’ve seen him, so it’s very likely. The only other name I’ve heard is Jenks for the Sox.
by MinnesotaRoyal on Mar 15, 2010 5:32 PM EDT up reply actions
Also due to pitch are Brad Thompson, closer Joakim Soria, Juan Cruz and Gaby Hernandez.
They always list them in the previous days recap on Kcroyals.com

Great quote from FanGraphs
While each might be worth (another) try in the rotation, Davies and Tejeda profile better as relievers, and Farnsworth profiles better as an object lesson in what kind of player not to sign to a multi-year deal.
And a rather unfortunate quote
I’ve run the numbers – if Butler and Gordon turned into Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez, the 2010 Royals still wouldn’t project as a .500 team.
Yeah, this kind of reality is why the talk of the Royals being not far from respectable simply isn't true
The Royals aren’t close, even if several things break right for them over the next few years.

I am very excited to watch Grienke tonight.
I know its spring training, but it still gives us hope.
(Someone insert the Obamacon Grienke Hope photo from last year hear?)
Soria will be good to see. Cruz? Let’s see if he’s made some changes in his front arm and upper body rotation from last year… and Gaby. No idea.
I really hope we get DDJ back into the #1 spot. I hope he succeeds at the 3 hole, but we know he struggles there… see 2009.

He's kind of a decent, unimpressive, below average starting pitcher
The Royals have enough of those. Jorge Campillo’s CHONE projection is actually better than Sonnantine’s. Actually, he’s fairly young, cheap depth, so I wouldn’t mind having him (although I don’t know that he upgrades the rotation), but I wouldn’t give up much for him.

Something about this being the first game I’ve been able to watch has really brought it home to me: I hate this team. Honestly. Four of our projected nine offensive starters are Pods, Kendall, Yuni and Jose Guillen. It’s so depressing I can’t stand it.
To watch Pods give up that Triple over his head just made something snap. The best pitcher in franchise history. And he has to play with those clowns. Pods, Kendall, Yuni and Josey. So depressing.

I know what you mean
I just bought the MLB.com package for the first time ever. I was very excited. Then when I started watching this game I was like, “Oooooooooh shit.”
Just call it what it is:
The Zack package. I bought the thing solely to watch Zack pitch. And I’ll watch most of the other games too, but really, $120 or whatever is worth it to see every one of Zack’s games. But watching Pods miss that triple…….i’m worried that I’m just going to spend every one of his outings pissed off at the team. Unlikeable and bad. YUNI? Kendall’s been terrible for YEARS!!!
Sorry, i’m just letting off some steam. It’s so much worse watching these guys than reading about them…
