The Royals

[ksupamplemousse]

sending him is logical in the sense that they have more pitchers than they can keep and he's one of the few they can move off the 25 man without losing them.

i dunno if it makes sense in terms of helping him get better.  by his peripheral stats, he really hasn't pitched poorly.  not very different than last year.  but if the one poster is right that he's having trouble throwing his breaking pitch where he wants to, then it'd make sense to send him somewhere where he can just concentrate on his mechanics and not give a crap about whether he gets hit or not.

I am right. Or at least Andy McCullough thinks so. He believes that all of his performance issues stem from the lack of a reliable second pitch, per his chat today. I would specify curveball though, because he can generally throw the changeup for a strike, it's just a shitty pitch.

They opened Detroit's clubhouse to media for pregame and closed 11 minutes later for team meeting.

He needs to get right. Seems like the right move.

Prob right move, just surprised they actually did it.  And that quickly.

Someone had to go down with Vargas coming back tonight. Sucks that it's him, but you can't blame DM at all.

Royals rumored to be looking at a lot of players (Price, Cespedes, Ceuto, Jay oscar, Zobrist, Kazmir).  Makes me think they won't make any moves.

i bet they'll make a move or two but it will be similar to what they did last year. lol at the royals looking at price and ceuto.

I should clarify that I don't think they will make any moves for the guys above.  I agree with RD's comment above by getting lesser players that could fill some gaps.

I bet both guys are trade for 2 or 3 prospects. They're UFA this winter so they're more affordable than you'd think, especially Cueto.

I'm going to the game on Saturday, is there any chance they change the promotion? I don't care if Ventura is in AAA, I still want the bobble head!

The odds are pretty good with Volquez on the mound.

if Price is indeed on the market, it will take less for Moore to get a better price for a worse Price (Cueto)

I think it's more similar to the time Greinke got on anti-depressants and then turned his career around by becoming baseball's best pitcher.

 I guess they both went to Omaha?

I think one was depressed for medical reasons and the other one might be depressed from sucking, so I don't know if I'll chalk this one up as similar.

Greinke developed social anxiety disorder from sucking.

Experience with SAD:

Zack Greinke is a professional baseball player who has battled social anxiety disorder (SAD) and depression throughout his short career. In 2005, Greinke lost 17 games, deepening his depression and bouts of social anxiety and distancing himself from his fellow players.

Wow! Now I feel like an ass.

Weird double instead of home run awarded there....must be because that part of the wall is closer to the plate than the top of the wall, so it is considered just like hitting the ground in front of the wall?
