Cannot possibly be overstated.

I just think Meche is done being a solid 1,2,3 pitcher.

I’ll go watch the ORoyals but a Frenchy trade probably means the end of Gordon, who while I’m definitely not sold on is way better than Frenchy.

I wouldn’t mind a Guillen for Frenchy move straight up if it was nothing more than a salary swap and Frenchy wasn’t going to be resigned(ya right) but a Meche-Perez deal is dumb, taking on Castillo is ignorant and giving up Farnsworth for nothing when he is an actual commodity at this time is FUCKING RETARDED.

Perez is just as bad as Meche, and getting paid $12M in 2011

Francoeur is arb-eligible and due $6M-ish

Luis Castillo is the shittiest $6M man in baseball until Francoeur gets that raise.

If we’re looking to do a shitty pitcher for shitty pitcher, shitty outfielder for shitty outfielder, spare part for spare part trade, how about Meche/Guillen/Farnsworth for Perez/Beltran/Francoeur, followed by moving Podsednik to an AL East team

You know Dayton is looking for any opening to find a full-time DH for 2011

like crap

just saying.. Farnsworth for Dillon Gee

I shouldn’t be naive, but I just can’t see this…..crap for crap….I don’t think much of GMDM, but he’s not this dumb….any of these straight up would be almost palatable if you squinted real hard, (Guillen for Frenchie, we get younger, Perez for Meche, same, Farny for Castillo…No….the real issue is blocking guys like Kila or Gordon, or in other words, what happened this year)….should be a interesting week….lets hope it isn’t tragic.

I don’t get any upside for either group. And this move only guarantees that Kila will never wear a Royals uniform again.

Heyman is now talking about the same thing

With dayton and Omar being a spy vs spy goldmine?

They have the same contract. We know Meche is done, maybe Perez bounces back for half a season in a new environment and then we can move him next July.

Having these Premiere League teams play MLS teams IS GENIUS!

I may have to check the British papers for their reaction to Man U losing to KC Wiz

DM thinks that winning teams are only built by getting lots of crappy vets who have World Series rings

However, I don’t want to add Castillo’s contract through 2011. Perez for Meche, big deal. We’d probably get more out of Perez than we will Meche because I still think Meche’s labrum is about to go…. Farnsi for Francouer… um… unless we can get more, why not?

JoGui, Meche, and Farnsi… gotta be, right?

Dayton has given up trying to reassemble the 2005 Mariners and is trying to instead make a team of 2007 NL East castoffs.

Too be fair these guys were good in 2007. Which incidentally is also the last year that any of them were above average.

The Royals are exploring getting Francouer when they trade JoGui. That would be the end of Mitch… correct?

and ignoring “real” baseball a lot more….acquiring Frenchy is absolutely unacceptable under ANY conditions

this team can take a player with a poor approach at the plate and improve it.

Someone has to provide some realistic optimism here.

Oliver Perez is 3 years young than Gil Meche and is a left handed starter. In my opinion, regardless of current production, the Royals win this.

Perez throws harder, and again, a southpaw, and three years younger.

Guillen vs. Francoeur

Guillen is an old, lazy bum who can’t run and sucks.

Francoeur is a better fielder, is 8 years younger than Guillen and can still hit, maybe he just needs a change of scenery?

Luis Castillo vs Kyle Farnsworth

Really no idea why this is being considered, but a healthy Castillo would be a huge upgrade over Getz.

The Royals should be after a prospect for Farnsworth.

Player A, 2007 to 2010: .267/.312/.405, stats per 162 are 111K/36 BB, 16 HR, 35 doubles
Player B, 2007 to 2010: .247/.330/.410, stats per 162 are 144K/64 BB, 18 HR, 37 doubles

Franceour? Fine. Let’s get it done. We’ll all share some laughs, and really whats the harm? Did any of you think the eventual replacements Dayton found for our current scrubs were actually going to be good?

Whoever he brings in is going to be old and bad anyway, so why not Franceour? Wouldn’t that at least give a weird kind of satisfaction? Like, we knew this was going to happen.

if you need a change of scenary after a year with a team, then you’re usually a shitty ballplayer (or you’ve pissed off the populace). Considering that Frenchy is angling for his second change of scenary in 2 years, he’s either bad at baseball, or Lyle Lanley

i’ll withhold judgment until something actually happens, but if it goes down like this….fire DM

nightmares for me tonight!

Perez and Meche part are wash, but I would keep Meche because he at least has had one productive season.

Farnsworth – Done after this year – Castillo – Still owed 6 million for next year

Guillen – owed for half of this season Frenchy – Hopefully released, but could be kept with arb for 6 million

All the players basically suck. With the trade, we will be paying for Castillo and probably for next. This is just plain dumb.

… come on folks, there’s got to be some three-way scenario that results in José Lopez ending up in KC, reunited with YuBet. With Callaspo gone, the Royals need some ex-Mariner to fill in. With experience at both 2B and 3B, Lopez is the perfect fit.

And the Double Play Twins will once again be united!!!!

except the part about us getting the same guys we are trying to get rid of. That part makes no sense at all. Infact this whole senerio makes no sense, but it does involve two of the worst GM’s in sports swaping equally shitty players and (it looks like) equally shitty contracts.

I hate to say it…but….keep Guillen and Farnzy? Ugh, that didn’t feel very good.

that wants Francoeur; as a fellow human being, I apologize.

From Mets: O. Perez, L. Castillo, Francoeur. (more)

Does that “more” mean something? Maybe it means a prospect. Baseball writers only talk about major leaguers involved in a deal if it’s that many names.

Without anything “more” this move is obviously a fail for the Royals because of the extra year of monetary commitment. But if there’s some sort of prospect hidden here, does it make it worth it?

Despite the widely-known love DM has for Frenchy, I just don’t know on what planet the Minaya would be on to even be interested in Guillen, Farnsworth, or Meche. Guillen would only help the Mets if they turn their season around, get into contention, and are serious about playing him in the field over, say Jason Bay. Then you’d have to move Angel Pagan over to LF.

Farnsworth makes sense, if the Mets think they are in contention. Maybe Farnsworth for Frenchy is something that this could all boil down to, if the Royals ship off JoGui somewhere else.

Meche and O. Perez are expensive damaged goods that no team in their right mind should be looking to acquire. I don’t even need to go down the Castillo road.
  
Farnsworth for Francouer is probably the only combo I could understand. Wouldn’t like it, but I could see that coming.

Hearing #Royals aren’t enamored of possible #Mets deal. What, no Ollie? #MLB

“All that Ollie Perez/JeffFrancoeur/Gil Meche/Jose Guillen #Mets-#Royals talk has been fun. But source says KC has “no interest.”"

Thank you sweet baseball Jesus.
