I really feel that they are hurting the team more than helping. I know there is not much internally that we can replace them with but I'd much rather have either Colon/Gia instead of Ibanez filling up our bench, and Collins (despite his struggles) than Downs in our bullpen.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968885940112841062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129904004334636055.post-33582339900781653112014-07-16T17:32:43.291-05:002014-07-16T17:32:43.291-05:00I don't think they were looking for upside.

I think they were looking for reliable production in the middle innings, and Frasor can provide that.Michael S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05540103973535229550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129904004334636055.post-33934789991393824972014-07-16T15:31:22.575-05:002014-07-16T15:31:22.575-05:00I just read the the Royals have picked up Jason Fr...I just read the the Royals have picked up Jason Frasor from the Rangers. The price was cheap, 26 yo minor league reliever, but I don't see a lot of upside.Steve Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05801257951142926868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129904004334636055.post-78093510106980570392014-07-15T17:37:54.674-05:002014-07-15T17:37:54.674-05:00Jarrod Dyson has been my favorite Royal for maybe ...Jarrod Dyson has been my favorite Royal for maybe three seasons now. I love me some Salvador Perez and Yordano Ventura, but Dyson is, I think, essentially a healthy Peter Bourjos, and he is completely unappreciated, or at least it feels to me that he is under appreciated, as someone watching the Royals from Minnesota.

My guess is the Royals benefited greatly from that trade. Is it possible that trades in this manor are always one-sided?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681365918033312873noreply@blogger.com
