Royals So what's the deal with Frank White?

TLO · 10-17-2014, 01:24 PM

Just had 810 on and Kietzman was talking about trying to get Frank White to throw out the first pitch for one of the World Series games.

What is the issues between White and the Royals in the first place?

Mr. Laz · 10-17-2014, 01:26 PM

White wanted a shot at being Manager and the organization didn't want to

White got sick of waiting

short version

HE got removed from the FOX Sports KC broadcasting team in favor of journeyman Rex Hudler for being too critical of the Royals.

I knew about this - but figured there must be more to the story.

For the record; Hud > White

Thats why Frank White is mad. On the other side, the Royals finally got sick of Frank White. In public while he was employed by the team, Frank White would complain to anyone who would listen about how he felt the Royals were disrespecting him or mistreating him. He would even complain often to people who worked for other teams about the Royals.

At some point, even if you were a great player, the team could not put up with an employee trashing the organization all the time. They probably would have given him some honorary assistant to the GM paid job like Brett if he was a team player.

If you think Hud is better than White you need your head examined

Idk man, maybe. I think it's probably because I'm younger and like Hud's excitement and passion. White always seemed a little boring to me.

Good gawd. No...just NO. White wasn't horrible, but he's not even close to Hud on being a wing man in the booth.I could care less on the whole positive/negative thing. Frank was dull, IMO...and he was always my favorite player growing up because I LOVE his great D at 2b.

Hud is growing on me, but I thought Frank was great. Not just doing a good job a the normal stuff, but as a former great player on the team he was able to inject some history and interesting anecdotes into it, and he had a lot of credibility doing it. He KNOWS the Royals present and past.

What?!?!? Frank White always had good input on the game while doing the TV broadcast.

Hud's just a moron......a lovable moron....but still a moron.

Not to derail but have they announced who it will be? Brett?

BigRock · 10-17-2014, 01:59 PM

The rift that sent him packing was supposedly between him and Dan Glass. But Frank has found reasons to be angry, and reasons to think he's being disrespected by the organization, going back to the end of his playing career. The only constant in the equation is him.
