I live in Craig, Colorado but grew up 45 minutes from the K and went to as many games as I could. I am an area director for Young Life, a Christian youth mentoring and outreach ministry. I pay way toooo much attention to the Royals and my work allows it.

Teahen to Indians?

Bob Dutton says there are talks for Teahen for Franklin Gutierrez, Ben Francisco or minor-leaguer Trevor Crowe.

who do we root for?

If Detroit wins today they will tie with the Royals in overall record, so really they would finish in last again. I believe KC had the advantage in games vs. Detroit, which technically wins the tie-breaker. So do we root for the Sox to win today or Detroit? I would say the Sox for two reasons. 1. It forces an old-fashioned playoff for the playoffs. 2. It gives us fourth place outright. PS What's with teams not playing all of their games? Oakland is one game short and has the same number of wins as KC but one less loss. I guess that moves the Royals in front for draft order, but seems a little off in the grand scheme. PPS I hadn't noticed that the Yanks had the fourth-best record but didn't make it. Way to go under-performing AL Central.

Bees starters are the currency of the future

We hyped up the NW Arkansas pitching staff going into this year. Does the foursome of starters for the Bees this year of Gutierrez, Caldera, Mitchell and Duffy become our next most-watched group? Wilmington's starters had some strong numbers as well. GMDM is rolling in the dough of baseball currency.

Kilamonster (rhymes with gila monster) kills another pitch

Kila hit his fifth home run in nine games in Omaha on Friday. This dude in en fuego. Is he starting to challenge for Shealy's chance next year?

interesting day for omaha

Shealy ejected. Kila the baseball killer hit his third long ball since call up. I didn't even notice Atencio was called up. He k'd six in three innings today.

Royal's system 6-1 last night

The Royals family of teams went 6-1 on Thursday night. The only loss, a one-run setback, from the lowly Burlington Royals. A team with little offense. The Naturals have been putting up some big scores lately. Why is it that the Wilmington Web-site is far worse and harder to use than all of the other sites for the Royal's farm system? It's cluttered and hard to find information about each game.

with nothing to do on an off day...

looking at minor league results to see blake johnson's not-so-good start for AA NW-Arkansas

6.0ip  7hits 4r 4er  3bbs  3ks 4.29era

but it reminded me of one of Moore's first trades

As quoted from our boy Will

"Wow. Just a completely random move from the Royals, as Dayton Moore grabs a former Brave in the 29 year old Perez (4-4, 6.83 ERA).

Royals Get: Odalis Perez, Blake Johnson and Julio Pimentel

Dodgers Get: Elmer Dessens"

Looking back now it seems like Moore got the best of this trade.

Johnson and Pimentel have potential and Perez...although scary at times was at least serviceable. Dessens is now with the Pirates. Perez is the Nat's "ace" and we have two prospects.
