Per Dutton: Fields and Meche to DL

PrintI believe Dutton is breaking these tidbits, though I could be wrong. Fields and Meche both headed to the DL.
Final position player spot will be either Aviles or Betemit. Many dudes battling for final two pitching spots.

Would anything really surprise you from the Royals.
Besides releasing Yunicorn and Guillen

Meche would still be scheduled to start on April 11th
Which I believe has been the plan all along. I didn’t realize that Fields was injured though. I imagine it’s just a bit of roster management at this point. Fields isn’t exactly a key component after the spring he’s had.
Fields
He gets to keep playing in extended spring training games and then the Royals can send him to AAA for 20 days on a rehab assignment before having to add him to the roster.
and he can mend the injury to his
hitting ability
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."

I read a couple of days ago that his hip was sore...
I guess too much swinging and missing

i love that he still has to say
Final position player spot will be either Aviles or Betemit.
you just never know. between this organization doing its thang and the injury bug, anything’s possible
So the chances of Meche's arm falling off mid-pitch must be pretty high this season, huh?
I’ve had nothing to do with the Royals since Greinke’s last start, so I’m ready to embrace the bitterness once again!
If you watch Jaws backwards, it's about a shark that throws people up until they have to open a beach.
I'm starting to foresee a Sweeney scenario
always shuffling back and forth between a couple starts and the DL
especially since meche doesn’t want surgery
its nothing serious

not sure why
but I laughed really hard at this one.
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.

I don't get the fascination with Anthony Lerew
But whatever, not the biggest problem with this team.

I know
I just wish it weren’t so predictable and cliche

He has awesome sideburns
I think Trey values facial hair. And Dayton values Brave blood. Together you get a big man crush.
that is we we didn't get Gaudin

If Aviles is healthy
I can’t see what there is to decide between him and Betimet. Aviles is a much superior player with upside.
Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com
Call me a cynic
But if they Keep Aviles with the big team, they have to play him. Nobody will tolerate Yuni playing while Aviles sits on the bench. And Dayton doesn’t want to look like an idiot benching the SS he has craved for years, and for whom he gave up a significant amount in talent and money.
With Betemit, he is so awful at SS that that issue doesn’t raise its head.

Probably will play Aviles at 3b
rather than SS if Callaspo’s still banged up
by Fernando Vina School of Linguistics on Apr 1, 2010 4:12 PM EDT up reply actions
I would guess Lerew is on the team atleast until the 11th
when Meche comes off the DL. That way they can try and sneak him through waivers. The good news is that Mitch is on the 25 man roster
you assume Meche comes off the DL then

Presumably based on what the ROyals tell him
And, well, they are not exactly great at assessing injury severity.
its nothing serious

5 year contracts can be fun
first 2 years went about as well as could be hoped, year 3 was a little iffy, and now years 4-5 starting to look somewhat brutal
All is well!
It’s nothing serious! IT’S NOTHING SERIOUS!!!!

Why not put Meche on the DL?
You don’t need him until April 11. It allows him to stay in Arizona and keep working and it allows you to keep an extra pitcher on the roster for a week. Too much negativity in here 4 days before Opening Day!
Rupe and Thompson heading to Omaha
So I assume Lerew has made it, and one of Hughes or Parrish will be the LOOGY.

We like to quibble on minor issues,
and I’m gonna bring up a new one:
Since the plan is Meche on DL until a 5th starter is needed – why not start the year with 14 position players and 11 pitchers, instead of 13-12? You still have a 7 man bullpen available, and it would give Hillman an extra pinch hitter (for the first 5 games, anyway) to play with? After all, everyone agrees that if the team has a strength, it’s the starting pitching, and the biggest weakness is going to be run production – thus it should be OK to utilize more PHs than he normally would employ.
Mr Glass, this is a pro sports team, not a retail store - run it like one!

Rays place IF Elliott Johnson on waivers
Elliot Johnson = younger Willie Bloomquist with more power

Didn't Elliott Johnson
hurt Jorge Posada in spring training a few years ago? We want that.
Murphy was an optimist.

Posada's backup
Broke the wrist of Francisco Cervelli in a spring training collision at the plate.
GRIT.
Your source for replacement level commentary
Yeah, it was only Cervelli

Probably not

Is anyone going to either exhibition game against the rangers
on friday or saturday?
wait
what POSSIBLE decision can there be between mike aviles and wilson betemit?
that’s a joke right?
because if aviles is healthy enough to play 9 innings in ST, but he starts the season in AAA… just wow.

doesn't surprise me at all.
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.
Farily easy call
Just take the lesser player and lay your money there
I once had hope...now I have Moore.
absolutely stunning
I’ll give Dayton this: he always finds new ways to surprise us

Active Roster: Aviles and Hughes are in
http://kansascity.royals.mlb.com/team/roster_active.jsp?c_id=kc
I count 28 guys. Now I think it’s just a question of which three go on the DL.

But Anderson is still on there
As are Gordon, Meche, and Fields. So…who knows what that means. Why does this have to be such a mystery?
by MinnesotaRoyal on Apr 2, 2010 9:25 AM EDT up reply actions
I'm still not entirely sure the Anderson thing wasn't an April Fool's joke.
But then why would have both him and Maier? I agree that something doesn’t seem right. Maybe they just haven’t figured out where to put Anderson yet and only two of Fields, Meche, Aviles, Gordon, and Callaspo are DL bound? Or, maybe there are still some trades in the works?
