KoK Offseason Proposal 4: Reid Brignac

AUTHOR: | IN: KC Royals | COMMENTS: None Yet

Since the regular season ended, I have explored the potential acquisitions of Mat Gamel, Felix Pie, and Jeremy Hermida in an attempt to improve the present and future roster of the Kansas City Royals.  In my opinion all three players could be acquired at a reasonable price and fit into the plans of the team.  My 4th proposal centers around Tampa Bay Rays SS-Reid Brignac.

World Series Prediction and Limited Reasoning

AUTHOR: | IN: MLB | COMMENTS: None Yet

My hatred of the Yankees runs deep and they knocked out the Twins (my 2nd favorite team) in the ALDS.  It should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me that I am picking the Philadelphia Phillies to win the 2009 World Series.  Why the Phillies?

Trading Joakim Soria is Fool’s Gold

AUTHOR: | IN: KC Royals | COMMENTS: 7 Comments

The concept of trading Joakim Soria was tossed out earlier in the year, and is certainly not a new or groundbreaking idea.  However recently the idea of the Royals trading their elite closer has started to gain some new momentum.  For me the idea is terribly flawed.  Trading Joakim Soria is fool’s gold.

KoK Offseason Proposal 3: Jeremy Hermida

AUTHOR: | IN: KC Royals | COMMENTS: 3 Comments

My bulk of my offseason plan for the Royals is very simple. The team needs to acquire young players who are undervalued, have not yet lived up to their potential, or have little chance to receive the playing time they deserve with their current team.   Today’s proposal focuses on 25 year old RF/LF-Jeremy Hermida of the Florida Marlins.

Peas in a Pod: Sam Runion and Tim Murphy

AUTHOR: | IN: Fish on the Farm, KC Royals | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

Let me start off by saying that I was fully aware that RHP-Sam Runion had a “bad” season.  Until this morning, however, I wasn’t fully aware of how bad it was in relation to his peers.
