So glad I read "How To Get Your Prayers Answers" at Tom Brown Ministries.com last nite.

My prayer of never making typos hasn't been answered though.

No invite for David Lough?

That sucks.

He's on the 40 man roster

So he’s not part of this list.

I don't know if this is serious.

I doubt that it is, but I sort of like Orlando. He’s very smooth in CF.

From what I’ve read, other than straight line running, his raw tools never got beyond raw. I don’t think anyone likes how he has developed.

Again, I'm no scout

but I like watching him play CF. He gets up the line pretty quickly and has decent power. His AA numbers look good, and I hesitate to place too much emphasis on his AAA line as he was getting inconsistent playing time in the OF with Lorenzo Cain being stuck in Omaha all year.

Don't think any of them will make it.

Maybe Monty.

I forgot about that bastard Zach Miner

I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

by tiquanunderwear on Jan 25, 2012 6:57 PM EST reply actions

Is he a Royal?

I never saw any report that we signed him for 2012. I like him as depth, but did we sign him? I will be surprised if I missed it…

I think I remember the Royals giving him a minor league deal

I thought he had slipped off into the sunset a couple of months ago.

Now that I think of it, that was Aaron Laffey. Nevermind.

I'm waiting for my wave of talent to arrive.

I'm actually hoping in vain that Irving Falu gets a shot at UI.

And no, I don’t mean user interface.

I saw Francisley Bueno and thought it said Frenchy Bueno.

That's all he's wearing?

Must be batting practice on Cinco de Mayo.

Frency Bueno

I thought Sisk would be invited as well.

Go Royals!

We Don't Get

Our random hobos from our MiLB system; we sign FA’s instead.

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

I would imagine that it is rare for guys just drafted last year with no minor league experience to get a major league camp invite. I really don’t remember, but I doubt Moose and Hosmer got invites to the major league camp the spring after they were drafted.
