It's a book about the Royals. It's good. You'll like it. What was your research process like in writing the novel? You mention Kansas City broadcaster Jack Harry in your preface, did you talk to local Kansas City guys? Drive around town?

We shall see what tomorrow holds: if the Royals have any other big signability picks. I think we'll grab some more "up the middle" players and our normal bevy of y...

2008 Royals Draft Review

04 Jun 2009 20:38:30 PDT

Written by nwroyal
In some ways, Johnny Giavotella is the type of player you would expect the Dayton Moore/ Trey Hillman Royals to take: known for his leadership and getting the most out of his talent. At the same time, he doesn't fit the Royals draft pick profile-a college player who walk more than he strikes...

Why don't you trust Dayton Moore? Yes... Where do you put Hillman in this wedding analogy? What about Alex Gordon? Do you think the Royals can compete in 2009? How is Royals Review going? Umm... the website I guess. Royals Review is a greybeard now.

Fernando Vina pointed out that the Royals love playing hard for Brian Bannister. That is great! Its good that they play hard for Bannister, because he deserves it the most because he did well on his SAT. Why play hard for someone like Odalis Perez? Is he even American?

Written by NYRoyal
The Royals situation with Soria is mirrored by the Yankees quandry with Joba Chamberlain. He dominated as a reliever and scouts think he has the stuff to be a very successful starting pitcher. Many commentators think the Yankees should keep in the bullpen and groom him to be Mariano River...
