Shortstop

From Buster Olney on ESPN.com "The Royals are among the handful of teams in the majors that increased payroll for 2009, and whether or not they will add more during the season, like with a midsummer trade, might be predicated on their attendance. Kansas City typically has drawn about 1.5 million a year, and if the attendance climbs toward 2 million, that might create more leeway for general manager Dayton Moore to pursue a shortstop midseason." What SS do you think Olney might be thinking about?

Bobby Crosby

He wants to be traded according to reports...would you be interested in the Royals trading for him? JoGui for Crosby? Keeps Teabag in RF, OF defense improves. Offensively is it worth it? Just thoughts...discuss.

Just in from the Caravan

Just in from the Caravan

Just got back from the Caravan in Hollister, MO. Grienke & Kila ended up being there instead of Meche and Davies as the poster said. Also Brian McRae and Dennis Leonard were there. It was at the YMCA, Zack and Kila like to play basketball. Grienke also said his top choice of FA's would be Hudson. I'll try to put up pics and maybe a little more feedback hopefully tomorrow. Overall good time!

The Caravan

The Royals Caravan is going to be at the YMCA next door to where I work! The poster says that GilgaMeche, Davies, Dennis Leonard, GMDM and of course Sluggerrr are scheduled to be here in little Hollister (Branson,MO). This just made my Jan. since I probably won't be able to attend FanFest. Now all I have to do is take a late lunch so I can go next door!

Nationals as a trade partner

Nationals as a trade partner

With the Nationals getting Olsen and Willingham they now have quite a few guys for 3 OF positions. I would be interested in seeing if they would deal Dukes, Milledge, or Pena. Thoughts?

Sergio Rodriguez

His agent says he wants to be traded. Should the Bulls have talks with the Blazers for some sort of package deal?

Royals interested in Taveras?

Royals interested in Taveras?

According to MLBTR... "Taveras is also under team control through 2010. Ringolsby says the Royals, Yankees, White Sox, and Braves are in on him, while Renck adds the Nationals."...ready, set, react!

My trade idea

My trade idea

Kirk+Gooden to Sacramento for Miller/Bobby Jackson/1st Round Pick I think it can help both teams. Gives us a veteran backup PG and a decent C. Gives Sac a good backcourt and Gooden/Hawes would be okay in the front. Thoughts?

Grienke to Texas for...

Grienke to Texas for...

it seems like most people think Grienke would go to the Rangers if traded. What is the most likely (or what would you want from Texas) return the Royals would get. My first choice (like most people here I would think) would be to sign Grienke long term, but if he made it clear he had no intention of doing that I would ask Texas for Kinsler, Salty, Cruz (and possibly one other throw in)

ManRam

If he would sign with the Royals how would you react? (Was mentioned on MLBTR chat)
