I can't take it anymore! This is just a shitty baseball club. No other way to put it. They have a terrible roster... Jacobs and Farnsworth... really.. that was the answer???????????????

Rany,

That blog entry alone illustrates WHY I'm concerned about whether or not the Royals are heading in the right direction. Dayton Moore was stupid enough to offer $1.8 million (...say, I'm left handed, I wonder how much money I can sucker DM out or myself?) to Ho-Ram in the first place. Hillman has compounded that mistake by INSISTING on using Ho-Ram REPEATEDLY when the

I agree it is unfortunate to have lost three starters, but to this point we have no idea if Aviles is the real deal and Buck teases occasionally but never maintains it for any length of time. I like Gordon and hope he fulfills the promise he came in with. But we have no reason to believe that the lineup is made up of major league hitters.

HoRam DFA'd!!!

2009-06-06T10:50:22.458-05:00

while ramirez isn't any good, and it's frustrating to see him used so often anyway, that the reason the royals have collapsed is that they stopped drawing walks and working for good at bats.

the organization announced that obp was important. they hired seitzer, who preaches the right message. but they import guys who don't draw walks, and the kids who come up with some

C'mon, Rany, time for a real palate-cleanser. The team's in free-fall. Let 'er rip!

2009-06-05T22:07:53.512-05:00

Regarding Bob Davis:

I agree, false excitement is annoying. However, when he gets it right, i.e. a legitimate exciting royals moment, its fun to hear his enthusiasm.

I really, really, really wish I wasn't responding to the Bob Davis comments but instead had something wonderful to say about the royals. (sigh)

@ chjohn re: trading Greinke

If they do that, I'm done as a fan. You don't trade the best pitcher in baseball over three years from him reaching free agency
==============================
You do when you haven't done a damn thing in 20 years, and are still 2-3 years away from winning. You do when you have the roster that we have,

2009-06-05T15:05:36.258-05:00

So clearly, I don't hate the man Bob Davis, I just think he's horrible at calling a baseball (AND BASKETBALL) game. (Honestly, if he was an announcer for, say, Baylor or Nebraska, the fans of those teams wouldn't say "he's great", they'd hate his guts. He is NOT good at what he does).

Anyway, I'm sure he's a nice guy.

Somebody asked what happened to the major-league hitters at every position....

Gordon -- injured
Aviles -- injured
Buck -- injured

That's 1/3rd of the line-up gone and few teams could handle that well.

2009-06-05T12:47:06.831-05:00

This year, like so many before, Royal pitchers know there is zero margin for error. They can't relax - they nibble, they can't locate, etc.

2009-06-05T12:13:47.807-05:00

starting to think moore may not be the prodigy we hoped for and envisioned.

it's frustrating to see now more than a handful of teams drafting players who are contributing to the major league team within 18 months while we're drafting guys who are "impact bats" but "a few years away from contributing."

this team blows right now. it blew last year.

2009-06-05T11:27:51.938-05:00

Bob Davis is horrible. I have the same problems as mentioned above. In addition, I hate how he tries to use baseball lingo in his broadcast to sound baseball savvy. Have you noticed how many times he tries to work "veteran" into his calls? I hate him.

2009-06-05T10:56:48.679-05:00

My thoughts -

Bob Davis - good broadcaster, excellent college play-by-play man(different animal), mostly unlistenable for Royals on Radio. Needs an actual partner/color commentator. I believe Bob started his career calling baseball at Fort Hays MANY years ago when he got his start, so it's not like he picked up baseball 3 years ago or something, but yeah, it's not good.

Moore has only had two drafts, and got here with absolutely nothing in the minors. He basically had to start over, draft young supposedly upper echelon players, and just bide his time until they are ready to be here. The Baird era left him with two average players in Teahen and DeJesus, a still unproven Gordon, and an ace. I'd include Buck, but he sucks. That'

I've actually had a couple of conversations with friends recently about how much I hate Bob Davis. And mostly for the same reasons mentioned here -- it absolutely pisses me off every time his voice inflection shoots sky high and there's fever-pitch excitement for...a fly ball to medium range center. Don't freaking get my hopes up only to dash them to pieces - I already have enough

2009-06-05T01:19:39.588-05:00

Btw, I already know the answer. I was being sarcastic: managers are just like players, they want to only go to organizations where they know they can win. The Nat's, the Marlins, the Royals, etc - we're stuck getting guys trying to cut their teeth still. But that's why I focus in on passing up on Showalter - he actually wanted to come here. And we said no because he had a history of

2009-06-05T01:15:21.199-05:00

To Walt Z:

You're absolutely right - the J.P. Howell trade did not work out. But remember that at the time it was made, Howell was no one, and everyone in Royals land - front office, players, fan base, media, etc - thought we were winning out on that trade, because at the time Gathright was perceived as a guy with talent enough to start but was on a team filled with A-tier talent

I say keep HoRam, Jacobs and his 230ish average and Tony Pena Jr. for the year. We finish last again and pray that Bryce Harper does declare for the draft.
