Royals Roster Breakdown Part 6: The Bravest Part
Royals Review —
We all know Dayton Moore likes ex-Braves, but to exactly what extent are we talking about here? Let's take a little look see shall we?
Current 40 Man Roster ex-Braves
Kyle Farnsworth
Bruce Chen
Roman Colon
Juan Cruz
Ron Mahay
Brayan Pena
Tony Pena Jr
Kyle Davies
8 out of 40 = 20%
If Farnsworth wasn't on the DL, these would all be 25 man roster guys (except for Davies and Chen, as Chen ...

How to use your Bullpen. A presentation for Trey Hillman (w/ pictures)
Royals Review —
... Bale, Cruz and Wright into the tough spots. While reserving milder spots to Tejada, Mahay, and Colon.
You have brought Tejada into 14 games with runners on and 3 with no runners on. Which is kind of confusing, since he walks lots of batters, leading to more runners.
But Mahay, Bale, and Wright are the worst when it comes to the runners on base for their entry scoring. If you have two runners on when any of those 3 enter, the odds are good that 1 runner scores.
Roman Colon, on the other hand, seems to be good with not having inherited ...
Reviewing Dayton Moore at the Deadline: 2007
Royals Review —
... for Roman Colon. Christensen was one of the many Baird Era guys who found new addresses in 2006-7. A pitcher drafted in the fourth round of the 2002 draft, Christensen is now in the Seattle system. Considering the long odds that Christensen will ever contribute at the Major League level, snagging Roman Colon -- yes, a former Brave -- was not a bad move. Colon is no great shakes, but after spending 2008 in Omaha, he's appeared in 22 games with the Royals this season. He has a live arm, but little control (11 walks in 24 IP) and is your standard issue ...
Comerica Park - a review
Royals Review —
... We were treated to a terrific pitchers duel - Greinke vs. Washburn. I joked that between Greinke and the Royals lineup, we had a great chance of watching a no-hitter. Which was very nearly true. The two teams took a 0-0 tie into the bottom of the ninth, upon which I went into a drunk-induced rant on why you bring your best reliever into a tight game because you may not go to extra-innings otherwise. Right on cue, Roman Colon gave up a walk-off home run to ...
Crazy Coincidence Huh? Royals Demote Alex Gordon Just In Time to Save a Few Million Dollars
Royals Review —
... pointless start tonight. Fun!
The Gordon-hating faction, which likely includes portions of management, needs to get their story straight. If he sucks, then I don't think we should worry about what he'll make in arbitration or that he might be leaving us a year early. Which is it?
Frankly, this is petty. Embarrassingly petty. Amazingly, the Royals have found a way to look even smaller than their playoff chances.
Now warming up in the bullpen, Kyle Farnsworth and Roman Colon.

... Infielders: Kila Ka'aihue, Tug Hulett
Outfielders: none
Carlos Rosa hasn't had a great year, but is he better than Jamey Wright or Kyle Farnsworth? Probably. Kila will come up and DH, as Billy Butler has earned the right to play first base this year and seems to have hit another gear after the ASB.
Now let's look at the current 40 man roster, and take out the trash:
John Bannister, Roman Colon, Mario Lisson. Lisson just needs to be taken off of the ...

Royals Hold On Late Against A's
Royals Review —
... Yes, the Royals won a game that Kyle Davies, Roman Colon, Jamey Wright, John Bale and Kyle Farnsworth all pitched in.
Thank you, Joakim Soria and a flukey Royals offense that managed four runs somehow.
In an amazing/predictable turn none of the Colon-Wright-Bale-Farnsworth foursome was actually effective, but they cobbled together three outs between the four of them. Clearly, Gibbons is a better manager of insanely horrible bullpens than Trey Hillman.
Game 143: Royals 7, Indians 0
Let's Go Tribe! —
... A day after rapping out 17 hits, the Indians managed just two base knocks against the likes of Kyle Davies, Roman Colon and Carlos Rosa. To be fair, the Indians did take 7 walks today. Carlos Carrasco made his third and best start of the season, holding the Royals to four earned runs, five runs total, in 6.0 IP. The peripherals still aren't there, however, as Carrasco gave up 8 hits today, following the 17 he'd surrendered in his previous two starts. The new CC gave way to Mike Gosling, good for another Royals ...
Hillman's Fantasy: Small-Ball Royals Bury White Sox
Royals Review —
... expecting a failed reliever (at least prior to this season) to be a great starter. Tejeda allowed just three hits in six innings, mixing in five strikeouts and just two walks. How is this happening? Has Tejeda been inducing weak contact thanks to helpful wildness? I don't know, but it seems like a reasonable theory given his track record. If anyone wants to dive into the numbers, please do so. Are you ready to move forward with Tejeda as a starter to begin the 2010 season?
Roman Colon allowed all kinds of baserunners, but was able to escape ...
