Bubba wasting our time in the minor league camp is, well, a waste of time. Time to see if he's a major league baseball player or if we wasted 7 million dollars and a 1st round pick on a loser. He absolutely needs to be at the big league camp.

Is he faster than gore? I'd like to find out.

We've done this for years and years. Probably the reason we've gone all in internationally. They say it's because of the signability of top prospects and our small market budget but we all know that's a crock

I'm about 99% sure he's in the loser category and will be playing college football soon. I'd love to be wrong, though.

don't you think if he was faster than Gore, they would've brought him up instead of Gore and used him like that? Even for all his failings, Bubba would've been fine in CF for a game here or there, and you at least have the hope of him hitting a HR. Gore has none of that.

Gore is way faster is what I'm saying

Bubba is garbage. I noted that at the time the Roys drafted him.

i think Gore is better at hitting HRs than Bubba

The team is named the Royals, not the Roys.

Man, that picture of Bubba in the above link.......he has more eye wrinkles than....... His whole face will be one big wrinkle by time he hits my age.

Lee Judge is a moron and I want him as far away from the Royals as possible.

SABR is rarely kind to the Royals. PECOTA also says the Tigers at 82-80

22 Career homeruns, .249 career average, like I'm gonna listen to that guy as if he's an expert. If he was so smart he would've maybe not sucked his entire career.

PECOTA is so inept, his baseball card is a picture of him swinging and missing

AppleJack · « **Reply #31670 on:** January 29, 2015, 10:42:07 AM »

True Story: I went to school at St. Peters on 63rd and Charlotte for a year in 1992. That year, Bill PECOTA had an autograph stand at my school. He charged $20 for a 8x10 glossy that he autographed. I asked my parents to frame it for me. They did. I'm almost positive it's still at their house. I will now go get it and hang it in my basement.

Thank you

@BradShapiroKC: @theprogramkc @dougstewart1 Last years PECOTA had the Royals at 78-84

Turns out, PECOTA is full of crap. IIRC we made it all the way to the 7th game of the World Series and it took the greatest World Series pitching performance I've ever seen to keep us from winning it all. So maybe PECOTA can go ahead and jump in a lake and just stay in the lake and think about how stupid it is, then, write me a personal letter of apology.

Well, it's definitely a bit family'y but it's a pretty cool event. My company is the title sponsor so we had a private customer event last night. That setting is much more convenient and enjoyable IMO since it's not completely packed. I got a World Series game-worn Majestic jacket that belonged to Brandon Finnegan for like $40. A man who goes by TuckDynasty on here purchased Kelvin Herrera's jacket.

I did hear that the public sessions today and Saturday are sold out though...just FYI.

Fanfest is what it is, but I think it's great. If I was a kid, that would have been the ultimate. I worked it a couple of times with 610. I'm sure it's even better now that we're good.
