2008 Royals Update - Position Players

In honor of Trey Hillman, I decided it would be interesting to look at the team that Hillman had in his first year and see how the players are doing today.  I only included the players who are no longer with the team and you can see their stats and what team they are with after the jump.

Wow....

I still can’t believe we gave 250 AB’s to TPJ when his OPS was less than 400.
Hell Aviles practically has a BA of 400

Holy crap

Why did we just let Tony Pena go? We committed to him this long, why not see what he could do as a pitcher?

I don't understand it either.

I doubt he’ll amount to much, but he’d be a great 25th guy…and Yost was the manager when they had Brooks K. over in Milwaukee, wasn’t he?

Seeing Ryan Shealy's name makes me shudder

And it’s good to see Willie Mays Hays (JG) still raking.

I once had hope...now I have Moore.

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