Could you imagine the drop in price if Chapman were to only agree to a deal where he would start in the majors?

No no no no no NO Washburn PLEASE.

That was nice of Chapman to let teams know that he won't have start in the majors.

Vizquel would more than pay for himself in increased ticket sales for the tribe. His guidance would be great for young middle infielders Asdrubal Cabrera and Luis Valbuena. The only question is: would Vizquel sign with a likely non-contender?

I love what Dayton is doing with the team.
He moved Kila up to the 40 man roster. He signed Betemit and Bellorin to minor league deals to add some much needed depth in the system.

Y'all boys better watch out, we're comin'

The Royals need to change the name of the team to the Kansas City Garbage Men because they like collecting everyone's trash.

PCain, you obviously don't know anything about Baseball.

Posted by: Bannister19 | November 13, 2009 at 02:37 PM

Ovbiously right? Because Betemit, Bellorin, and dating back to the 09 season Freel, betencort, farnsworth, are all good signings. I can keep going but i think you get the point.

and dont get me wrong Banny19 im a die hard Royals fan, it just seems Moore doesnt know what he is doing. Oh ya and trading away Leo Nunez really turned out well didn't it?

I dare say Mr. Castrovince stole my idea...
