How does Towles sneak in at a robust
7th? He may be the only catcher aside from
Martin to reach double digit swipes. He's a major bargain as the 17th drafted catcher. It's interesting to see Molina being drafted 15th among catchers when he pretty much ...

Bradley's prodigious blast into the seldom seen corners
of Surprise Stadium wasn't nearly as exciting to watch
in person as Mark Ellis' season opening homer in Japan was to watch on TV.

Kansas City Royals closer Joakim Soria has been
fantastic so far. I mean, ridiculously good. He's 8-for-8
in save situations, and has been damn near untouchable so far. In 13 innings of work, he's struck out 15 while allowing only one walk and ...

Miguel Olivo arrives in Kansas City as a
tidy bundle of catching depth and power potential. Those

The Royals and pitcher Luke Hudson agreed on
a one-year deal worth a little more than $500,000
on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration. It’s a raise from the $422,000 Hudson made in 2007 when a shoulder injury limited him to just one start. Hudson ...

the Royals current 40 man roster and at 28
years of age is a year older than John Buck and just a little over a year younger than Miguel Olivo. His age alone, relative to those above him on the ...

Most followers of the Kansas City Royals do
not view the catching position as one of strength
on their team. After all, John Buck does not instill fear in opposing pitchers and the four different players he has been paired with in the past season ...

Yes, the Sox blew their chance at sweeping
the Royals; yes, that 8th inning was an absolutely
awful defensive performance by the Sox, but here's why you shouldn't beat yourself up too much about it...

NEW YORK - Not something we've written very
often, but Hideki Okajima struggled for the first time
since he allowed a first-pitch homer to John Buck on April 2nd. Okajima's streak of 20-2/3 scoreless innings, which had come over 20 outings, ...

One battle that figures to be competive or
atleast midly humerous is for the starting job as
the Kansas City Royals catcher. With two players who are so close in abilites it could come down to who has the better spring. The battle is between John Buck and the recently acquired Miguel Olivo. Both men bat and throw right handed so there’s no reason for a platoon.

The growing trend in baseball is for teams
to sign their young players to contract extensions in
hopes of locking them up before they become too expensive. While it's a smart financial move for all teams, it's generally a real good move for teams ...
