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.

It’s Thursday which means it is time for another edition of KoK Tunes & Links.

Yet another AFL update with the big news that RHP-Aaron Crow made his professional debut today.

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?

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.

Hello from a very soggy Kansas City.  I’ve got a couple articles in various stages of completion that will published in the coming days, but for now it is time for another edition of KoK Tunes & Links.

Here is the latest update on the Royals playing in the AFL.

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.
