K.C. Declines Coco

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 19:42:00 +0000

Update: As expected, the Kansas City Royals have declined to pick up the $8 mil option on Coco Crisp's contract for 2010. Crisp had season-ending surgery on both of his rotator cuffs this past year. Crisp only played 41 games for the Royals in '09 but the Royals seem to be interested in ...

Mark Teahen for Chris Getz and Josh Fields Reaction

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 04:27:59 +0000

Several news sources and blogs have already chimed in on the news, so I’m a little late to the party. Today the Royals traded Mark Teahen to the Chicago White Sox for Chris Getz and Josh Fields. Many are applauding this as a “good” move by the Royals. As for me I’m ...

Not cuckoo for Coco

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 10:00:20 +0000

Remember when the Sox traded for Coco Crisp before the 2006 season and it looked like a great idea? Three mediocre seasons led to his being dealt to the Royals for Ramon Ramirez and today Kansas City declined Crisp's $8...

More on the trade with a little help from a friend

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 18:48:31 +0000

So at first glance you would suspect that I didn't care for the trade and you would be right but probably not for the reasons you may think. I am not overrating Teahen, he is what he is. A useful player that you can put just about anywhere who won't hurt you offensively or defensively. He ...

Mark Teahen Is The Near Future Of White Sox Baseball

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 20:31:36 +0000

Mark Teahen is a pretty useful player for a contending team, but is not somebody to build around. He is a jack of all trades – but master of none. He can play four positions (1B, 3B, RF, LF) adequately while being slightly below average with the bat. His 2006 season (.290/.357/.517) ...

MLB franchise owners are rooting for the Yankees to buy a 27th Championship.

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:49:29 +0000

I hear Yankee haters complain all the time about the Yankees payroll and what it affords them to do, but you don't hear a peep from the other franchises or owners that they compete against. You would think a small market team like the Kansas City Royals would be on the top of the dugout step ...

Possible trade: Royals trade Mark Teahen to the White Sox for Chris Getz, Josh Fields

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 04:27:59 +0000

We're still waiting for the clubs to confirm. The NY Daily News broke the story this morning. The Chicago Sun-Times (sort of) confirmed it a few minutes ago. If true, our initial reaction is surprisingly good. Teahen is no longer worth the salary he will demand through arbitration. Getz and ...

Continuing the Save Soria Campaign

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 05:18:19 +0000

Just over a week ago I published my thoughts and opinions about why the Royals need to keep Joakim Soria instead of trading him away. What I didn’t get into in that piece was how the recent history of Royals’ closers has helped to shape the way I value the position and Soria in ...

Couple of quick hits, now that it’s officially the offseason: The Pirates removed three players from the 40-man roster : Virgil Vasquez, Eric Hacker, and Steve Lerud. Vasquez, of course, pitched horribly in the second half as an emergency starter/bullpen guy with the Bucs. Hacker was ...

I’m not counting the Aki Iwamura trade to the Pirates because 1. It technically didn’t happen in the offseason and 2. I’m mad Bill Smith wouldn’t pony up more than a fringe reliever to get it done. Kenny Williams makes the first move of the offseason, which should ...
