ChiefsPlanet - Royals *** Official 2017 Royals Repository ***

While I would have been angrier if we acquired R.A. Dickey, the Shields trade felt like the deathknell to my fandom for a good hour after the news broke.

I came to my senses, and I'm thrilled I did. Honestly, if that news was in a thread, the reactions should be in the HOC - I'm sure it'd be a fun read today.

QUICK UPDATE ON COSMULT :

When was the last time Cosmo posted in a Royals thread?

How often does SBInfinity post in Royals threads now (about the same as Cosmo has the last 4 years).

What posting style does SBInfinity's Royals posts remind you of?

How often did Cosmo, in the past, use the 'It's Happening' .gif?

...saddest thing is the amount of energy they both try and put in to defending their mult in DC

...sad, sad chud - that Cosmo is

ok...whut??

Assuming no issues with his final start in Omaha on Tuesday, he'll likely start on July 9 in LA on normal rest. Would be cool for him to get the start in his home state. Was born only a few hours N/NW of LA.

Yankees prospect Dustin Fowler made his debut tonight. Chased a ball into the RF wall in the 1st inning and blew his knee out. Ruptured his patella tendon and is done for the season. Never got to bat. [twilight zone music]

Jesus ****.

The 2017 Royals are a faster team than you'd think. They have one of the fastest 1B, a slimmer Salvador Perez (i know hes not a speed threat), Escobar can run, he just was never on base enough so he could steal. Boni can run for his bulkyness, Whit is a speedster, Cain (nuff said), Gordon isn't fat

Gordon isn't fat but he's slow.

That post delivers.

I for one am really glad they made that trade. The Blue Jays with Syndergaard are a much tougher out in 2015.

According to DJ's Left Nut, probably pieces like Boni or Strahm, if not both.

Some in that org still think he can develop as a starter, apparently.

I have no interest in Rosenthal. K rate is awesome, but he still has control issues.

I felt the trade was totally fair. People always overvalue their own players and free market theory teaches that any deal was reached only because other deals were not as good. (DM looked at deals all Winter for Myers and took this one, presumably because it was his best offer right?)

What I didn't like was that we were a 72-win team and nowhere close to competing the 2 years Shields would be here. And I nailed it

While Hosmer is faster than a lot, he is one of the least efficient runners in the game.

Their douche WAR (dWAR) would have been off the charts. Syndergaard, Donaldson & Joey Bats? The bitching would have been record setting.

Speaking of Thor, word is he recently gave a bunch of middle finger emoji's toward Mets legend Ron Darling in an Instagram picture he posted in the weight room. Darling suggested that an intense strength training a muscle mass program may not be the best thing for athletes playing in a 162 game season and may be why they've been slammed with an unbelievable amount of injuries over the past two seasons.

That terrible May absolutely buried them.

Lot of the blame lies with that idiot Jack Maloof. Scary to think that moron was the minor league hitting coordinator before that (and a big reason why this brand of Royals hitters struggled so much to establish themselves as major league hitters).

Yost also hadn't figured out how to rely on his bullpen yet.
