The Royals

[BW]

So is this Tomas thing gonna happen? How should I feel about the Royals supposed interest?

[Dr Rick Daris]

if you can only get one which one- above average hitting right fielder or another middle of the rotation starter?

Starter, I guess. Probably time to start rebuilding if that is the best we can do, though.

Trick question... There aren't any above average hitting right fielders available

oh did mlb recently outlaw trades and i'm not aware of it? interesting, very.

And now Lester...

What's our chip? Who's our target?

Is this the right thread for this? 

I ate a decent amount of concession food during the playoffs.

Heard the Dodgers are looking to deal their entire outfield.  Let's go get Matt Kemp.

JFC, our outfield's butts would break the internet all over again

I think it'd be more realistic to get the Andy Kaufman lookalike.

that's why the only correct food to ever get at a place like kauffman is pcorn. you can't really dirty that up. plus it just tastes so good.

Bud 25 oz'rs are as safe as it gets.

[ksupamplemousse]

Looks like Andy Kaufman, hits for power, and he gets on base. Plus, he's pretty damn cheap for at least another year. Trade Holland and get them to throw in another prospect.

did that guy get fat injections in his cheeks*?



*face cheeks

[ksupamplemousse]

He's not a slender guy, but I think the Fu Manchu creates a strange optical illusion which makes his cheeks look really fat.

I'd say his fat cheeks make his fat face look fat but that's just me I guess.

he's from st louis if that helps

[Cartierfor3]

If your face is fatter than this, I do not want you on the Royals*


*unless you can hit like 40+ HR a year

[Cartierfor3]

I have a source that says we're going to target Lester. C+ level source.

Jeffrey Flanagan @jflanagankc
Surprise, surprise: Sources say #Royals have had prelim talks with agents for Jon Lester.

 

[Rage Against the McKee]

Lester would be huge.

He hit more homers than billy this year in about 40% of the ABs.

The Royals actually may have a personal inroad with Lester -- he is Royals manager Ned Yost's neighbor on an adjacent farm in Georgia. Yost has been occasional hunting partners with Lester as well.

Ned!

My Ned bashing the past few years was my lowest moment as a blogger

I really want Lester, but didn't we just go off on him? 

[Rage Against the McKee]

If we get Lester, you can go ahead and just start planning next October with Royals baseball in mind.
