So the bluejays are asking for any combo of draft picks and prospects, what would you give up for doc? He is only owed 15m next season.
Well that was no fun
Leadoff walks just murder this baseball team. Gotta stop giving those up. I think Lefebver said 80% of them end up scoring.

I want to know what dirty little secret Tony Pena Sr. has on the Royals org, to keep his inept son in the clubhouse for so long..089 avg.
Wow, down 4-0 and now we are ahead 7-5 heading into the bottom of the 6th.
The Next home stand if I remember right is the opening of the Royals Hall of Fame... could be wrong though.
We'll see in time if this trade the Royals made today was a good move or a bad move... The SS they picked up is solid but they traded away probably one of their best minor league pitchers...
7 2/3 3 hits 1 run 1loss. GET SOME frackING BATS
Someone not named tony pena jr does not mean a solution. YB strikes out a lot, walks little, has little power, and in no way was worth giving up quite possibly our best pitching prospect.
YB strikes out a lot

In acquiring Betancourt, K.C. comes up shortFriday, July 10, 2009 | Feedback | Print EntryThe Royals kicked off their offseason last winter by acquiring Mike Jacobs, a player so limited in skills that acquiring him made little sense even before considering their superior in-house alternatives. Jacobs has, predictably, flopped, both at the plate and with the glove.On Friday, the Royals topped that move with an even worse one, trading for Yuniesky Betancourt, who might very well be the worst everyday player in the majors , and actually giving up something of value in Danny Cortes, a hard-throwing pitching prospect with command and makeup issues, and Derrick Saito, who projects at least as a lefty specialist if the Mariners choose to push him up the ladder.Betancourt does nothing well on a baseball field. He can't hit and has lost bat speed since reaching the majors. He hacks at everything he sees, and even swings at pitches thrown to other hitters. He has next to no range at short. And he never hustles on anything -- not balls hit in his direction, not ground balls he might have a chance to beat out (well, before he let himself go physically). Other than all that, he's Honus Wagner.
