Royals Review, a Kansas City Royals community

Okay, I'm not much an analyst. But I do like to pretend. The link above is to my "objective" analysis of the Betancourt tradee (and also covers the Francoeur-Church disaster). This is my reaction as a Royals fan: Is Dayton Moore the Bravest GM in Baseball, or the Bavasi-est? Maybe my narcissism the contrast will interest some people.

Last night I posed my "objective" analysis. This is my FanPost from Royals Review. It's narcissist and pretentious. Enjoy!

Just a quick word of thanks from Royals Review...back when KC & Texas played earlier this season, I noticed your rally pics and thought they were very clever. For a few games afterwards, we'd post the Rally Taco Can or Rally Alpaca to great success--giving LSB full credit for allowing us to channel the powers of the Rangers' offense. The phenomenon has since caught on and led to our own rally pics....so definite kudos to LSB and the Rangers. It seems as if your pitchers have started to channel the abilities of some of the Royals' players as well (non-Sidney Ponson/Horacio Ramirez/Kyle Farnsworth division). Hopefully both teams can keep playing well---I've always been a Texas fan too. Keep our Mizzou kid Kinsler injury free this year, and feel free to borrow any of our Rally Zoo animals in times of need. Here's to continued success this season and running away from Anaheim in the division!

I did a spreadsheet of this stuff at the request of someone at Royals Review, but I thought people here might be interested. You can get more of my explanation by following the above link to my FanShot there.

Defining what the oft-bandied terms "ace" and "third starter" and "back of the rotation caliber" and such nonsense should actually mean. At least one functioning definition. From Royals' Review by way of Beyond the Boxscore.
