I also remember driving like a crazy man while skipping sales calls so I could check into my hotel and watch a late afternoon Royals playoff game. <br /><br />I like the latter much more. Just can't see Mitch getting us there. <br /><br />Why couldn't Yuniesky Betancourt take a few games in the outfield if needed and have Dyson on the roster?Jayboidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06325299681548251993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129904004334636055.post-21033730326179329902012-01-21T11:11:55.567-06:002012-01-21T11:11:55.567-06:00On the point that 21 year olds with significant pl...On the point that 21 year olds with significant playing time in the majors are likely to go on to have successful careers: Just a clarification - there could be a chicken/egg misconception that people make often in sports (not saying Rany is guilty here). <br /><br />A football example: Teams that run the ball more than 30 times are more likely to win.

But now, I think the K/BB slightly favoring Ape and the ERA+ heavily favoring Ape probably overcomes Jack's HUGE innings pitched advantage.

I like him a lot as a bench player, and think he would do very well in the national league. He also seems like a good dude, which makes me root for him. If they aren't going to give him a place in the majors, I'd like to see him traded to the NL, preferably the Cubssomedevilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07795882291305967919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129904004334636055.post-79383177349582512882012-01-17T12:06:31.158-06:002012-01-17T12:06:31.158-06:00Nice to have a new column to read, thanks Rany.

Francoeur is the coolest guy on the team. He said on more than one occasion that the team is not done making moves for next year. Take it for what you will but that made me Royalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04526160862311648858noreply@blogger.com
