Danny Duffy, still a player to watch
I like how the top three of the top 10 of 2009 aren’t on the team anymore.
If Bianchi, Crow, and Dwyer (subtracting Duffy) are gone this time next year……
Let's go Royals
SHOW NO MERCY!!!
…..or show a little clemency and then when they’re not expecting it, RALPACA!!!

Hey, our opening day third baseman
is starting today!
Go Royals!
same thing for our
opening day catcher
Zapp Brannigan/Dayton Moore quote of the day: "Yes, comets! The icebergs of the sky. By jackknifing from one to the next at breakneck speed, we might just get some kinda gravity boost". and also "Kif old friend, I don't know which disgusts me more. Your cowardice or your stupidity! We'll simply set a new course for that empty region over there. Near that black-ish hole-ish thing."

Does there come a time
when you need to put up a serious line-up to see how it will shake out when the season starts (like next week)? Or doesn’t it really matter?
"Things could always be worse." - Buddy Bell
I depends on how you measure your "serious"
In terms of grit? moxie? one set of tools? OBP? gamey-ness?
There are any number of ways to optimize a line up.

you could make an aguement that every single one of our projected postion starters
should either not start, or is playing the wrong postion, so who cares?
Go Royals!
exactly

Another Missed Opportunity
Orioles Sign Joey Gathright
By Tim Dierkes [March 30, 2010 at 7:48am CST]
The Orioles signed outfielder Joey Gathright to a minor league deal, reports MLB.com’s Brittany Ghiroli. The Blue Jays released Gathright on Sunday after a poor spring.
Gathright, 29 in April, spent most of 2009 with Baltimore’s Triple A club. He hit .329/.386/.376 there, swiping 24 bags in 80 games.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
Who needs Gathright
When we have Derrick Robinson? Faster wheels and worse with the bat. Good replacement.

Sold mine for $30
I’m kind of regretting that now.
Not because I want to go but because I didn’t start with a high enough price.
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.
People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.
I would have paid $31.49

If We Could
Put Hoagy’s brain in Orlando’s body, we’d have a pretty athletic idiot who can kind of hit.

A 2-Hitter Through
7 against Cleveland’s opening day lineup? They must really suck.

So there could be a chance that the Royals Pitching
might be a highlight of the season…I mean more than just Grienke Meche Soria?

How deep does the average starting bullpen go in terms of winning talent?
I know it doesn’t really matter if there’s no offense, but it seems (to a naive newbie) like me that even a team with only 3 good to great starters guarantees a maximum of 97 wins… which seems pretty darn good.
A Little Much
I’d think. I’m not a stat guy, just guessing.

I am not too sure
but the correct use of bullpen arms, how many games that are close, player breakdown……..
all goes into trying to get those elusive wins. (Royallyspeaking of course)

To get to that many wins
is awfully difficult even in the best of circumstances. As far as bullpen (non-starting) pitchers, you’d want all of them to be pretty solid. I don’t really think that having 3 good to great starting pitchers is quite enough. As an example, Zack Greinke was the BEST starting pitcher in the AL last year. He started 33 games. Of those 33, the Royals managed to win 17. Some of that was crappy offense and some was bad bullpen work behind him.
