I numeri sono l'OPS+
Leading off and playing left field: 106 (David DeJesus).
Batting second and playing second: 74 (Chris Getz … I just have a bad feeling about them hitting him second).
Batting third and playing first base: 124 (Billy Butler).
Hitting cleanup and DHing: 80 (Jose Guillen … he could be in RF too).
Batting fifth and playing third: 86 (Alex Gordon … you hope he will improve on this).
Batting sixth and playing center field: 76 (Willie Bloomquist … the Royals don’t have an actual center fielder at the moment. You could put Mitch Maier’s 78 here. I suspect the Royals will get someone).
Batting seventh and catching: 72 (Jason Kendall).
Batting eighth and playing DH/OF: 68 Josh Fields (I’m cheating a little bit here here … this could be Alberto Callaspo’s 114. But I’m pretty certain Callaspo will not be with the Royals in 2010 … and Fields will get at-bats).
Batting ninth and playing shortstop: 68 (Yuniesky Betancourt).

Re: Kansas City Royals - Zack vince il CY Young Award!
*Brilliant Reader Johnny suggests that Kendall clearly represents one more puzzle piece in Dayton Moore’s never-ending effort to rebuild the Major League roster. Kendall certainly does inspire thoughts of Tom Berenger’s former All-Star trying to get one more season in the sun (and you could see Kendall bunting in a key situation). Manager Trey Hillman has some Lou Brown in him — or, anyway, you could see him selling tires in Toledo. Kyle Farnsworth was probably an effort to recreate Charlie Sheen’s Wild Thing. Jose Guillen, at least at one time, hit fastballs very very good. And Sidney Ponson, Brett Tomko, Kip Wells, Bruce Chen and John Thompson were just five of the recent attempts to find the old pitcher, Harris, who is just hanging on … the search goes on.
And what are the Royals searching for now? You got it: A fast center fielder. If you see a really fast guy trying out in his pajamas — you will know.
Kendall ha detto che Moore gli ha telefonato il primo giorno di free agency.Then I read this quote from Dayton about Kendall on MLB.com and I understood. The quote came after author Dick Kaegel pointed out that Kendall often hit leadoff when he was young because of his speed and his ability (then) to get on base.
“He still runs well for catcher. You’re not going to have to pinch-run for him,” Moore said. “But, he’s not going to have the speed he once had before that severe ankle injury in 1999.”
Look at that quote again.
He still runs well for a catcher.
You’re not going to have to pinch-run for him.
But he’s not going to have the speed
he once had
before that severe ankle injury
in 1999.
I don’t know. There’s just something in that quote — of a general manager talking about the remaining speed of a 35-year-old catcher who is not as fast as he was before an injury TEN YEARS AGO — that sparks something melancholy in me.

Re: Kansas City Royals - Zack vince il CY Young Award!
Come logico abbiamo rilasciato John Buck, arrivato ai Royals nella trade del 2004 che porto' Carlos Beltran agli Houston Astros. Visti i soldi dati a Kendall, e al fatto che difensivamente non il nuovo arrivato non rappresenti un upgrade, avrei tenuto Buck a una cifra tra 3.5 e 4.
Kendall andra' a prendere 2.25 M questo anno e 3.75 nel 2011. A questo punto penso che Moore abbia valuto risparmiare comunque dei soldi per il 2010, mentre nel 2011 si libera il payroll dai contratti di Guillen, Farnsworth e Cruz per una cifra intorno ai 20 M .
Adesso i Royals proseguono nella ricerca di un CF e di un LHP.

Suggerisco la lettura di questo articolo, che mette in risalto e analizza le differenze tra un GM che sta risollevando la sua franchigia ( MR Z ) e uno che non la sta risollevando affatto( Moore ). Si parla di livello MLB perché a dire il vero Dayton per quello che riguarda la farm sta lavorando bene.

Re: Kansas City Royals - Zack vince il CY Young Award!
Sara' una stagione veramente dura per me Pabs :D. Sono sempre piu' convinto che piu' Moore interviene sul mercato piu' peggiora la squadra, per cui che ci siano meno mosse possibili e facciamo semplicemente giocari i giovani della farmPablets wrote: Povero kromfel :lol2:

Molto divertente, ma immagino deprimente per i fan di KC, specialmente con tutti quei giovani del 1999 lasciati andare via e tutti quei "can't afford to keep him, can't afford to sign him". Un po' la solita storia, con proprietari che non si rendono conto, da Harry Frazee in poi, che non spendere per tenere i propri giovani di talento è un grave errore.
Ed alcune delle mosse di Moore davvero non sembrano avere senso.
The rare occurence of the expected.
