  • 2008 Royals - May

    I'll take a record of 12-15 after April and just a couple games back. It beats being 12 games back at the end of the month like usual.

    The offense is coming around and Guillen is actually starting to produce some. This will only help whoever's hitting in front of him even more.

    The bullpen has been pretty solid and I love the end of it. Soria is a freaking stud.

    I still like our rotation even though Meche has struggled some. Banny and Zack have been pretty darn good as a whole. I really think Hochevar should have started the year in the rotation and look forward to seeing him continue to progress. Tomko I've never been sold on. I do wish we could find a more reliable 5th. I thought that would be Bale but he had a tough go of it before the "dead arm". De la Rosa is pitching very well in Omaha. If the 5th starter continues to struggle I wouldn't be the least bit suprised to see him called up soon.

    Here's to a +.500 month :yahoo:

    JDLR was dealt to the Rockies

      And what a strange deal.

      JDLR plus cash is basically the PTBNL for the Ramirez acquisition. But the deal's been expanded so that KC will get a PTBNL based on how JDLR performs for the Rocks.

        JDLR's ceiling is very high. I think he has what it takes to make it at the MLB level.
        So with that said hopefully he wins 30 games and has an era of .60 and we can bring over Troy Tulowitski!!!

          JDLR relies heavily on that big curveball, much like Jeremy Affeldt, who is coincidentally also in Colorado. In the rarified air that curve won't have the same bite. So I don't know if he'll be a good starter there. If he can put a few MPH on his fastball, then he could probably be a good reliever.

            Did the JDLR trade finally finish? He stayed in Omaha at first did he not? I was looking at the stats Tuesday and he'd pitched in 4 games and had a great ERA.

                And the bats have gone silent. Grienke has done his part today but he isn't getting any help on offense. Zack has 9 Ks through 6.

                        Appears the Royals are rained out tonight.

                              Bale appears to have broken his pitching hand by punching his door last night. He's headed to KC for tests and could be out for quite a while now.
