I'm all for Mondo being the starter from day 1. As much as people want him to be, Whit ain't Zobrist.

Point these people out so I can kick them in the nads

[kso_FAN]

I think I said he could be a poor man's Zobrist. Like the Under Armour of Zobrists if there was such a thing.

Yeah i love mondo and I'll take my lumps with him at the plate, he won't be as bad as last year

[Powercat Posse]

So opening day lineup?
Gordo
Moose
Cain
Hos
Salvy
Moss
Paulo
Esky
Mondo
* Duffy


Looks like Soler could start season on DL, so Paulo starts in RF.
When Soler is back on the team, I would guess that Cuthbert will get first opportunity to be the DH vs LH starters.  He hit .320 with .819 OPS (.467 slug) last year in 160 PA vs lefties.

I am so excited

heya boys, welcome back.  i know we're getting close to opening day because it seems like it's about that time.  if we're not, then please ignore this thread and i'll repost when we get closer but something is telling me it's almost time.  so with that said, i have a couple of q's for the royals fiends in this thread to get me back up to speed-

a) how did we do in preseason?

b) does preseason matter?  i think we won it the year we won the championship?  that's why i ask

c) when is our first game on tv?

d) anyone else sick of the preseason?  it's so stupid

e) do we still have that human shithead pitcher who was hurt last year and always gives up ~2 dongs a game? (big nose dude, dark hair)

f) has chris rubber arm young been sent out to pasture?

that's all for now

Whit is more like a poor man's Willie Bloomquist

Hey 'clams. Nice to C U.

a) how did we do in preseason? no idea, i know Kennedy was v good, and we hit lots of dingers

b) does preseason matter?  i think we won it the year we won the championship?  that's why i ask for a veteran team, not particularly. just keep pitchers healthy

c) when is our first game on tv? monday afternoon! 

d) anyone else sick of the preseason?  it's so stupid completely

e) do we still have that human shithead pitcher who was hurt last year and always gives up ~2 dongs a game? (big nose dude, dark hair) Vargas? Yes

f) has chris rubber arm young been sent out to pasture? he will be a bad middle reliever and released in mid-may or june. Royals will write a nice thank you note press release

that's all for now

With all the roster moves this week, I cannot tell you how pleased I am to see Billy Burns sent to Omaha. Hopefully he never plays another game for the big league Royals.

this is the type of insider info data that i love about this thread. 
and yes, i agree - the preseason is stupid

vargas. my goodness i hate his guts.  he will be this year's chrisys rubber arm young

that said, i can't believe chrisys rubber arm young has conned this franchise into another paycheck

[420seriouscat69]

Burns is fast, but that's about it. I haven't thought twice about that dude in quite sometime. I do enjoy Whit. I like losery prospects that end up contributing. I think he could be a fair enough utility player to spell some peeps. Excited for Mondesi!

[Cartierfor3]

This is it for Young's contract, so there's no problem releasing him mid season. #PeggyPo
