caulfield12 3,729 Posted April 12, 2015 QUOTE (kapzk @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 06:10 PM) Yan gomes injured at a play at the plate, needed 2 players to carry him off the field Im going to guess hyperextended/sprained knee...out 2-3 weeks. Could be mcl/acl.....weird angle, Rajai Davis cliipped his foot/ankle sliding in with his foot on the plate. Wonder if they will revisit the Posey Rule yet again?

Melissa1334 0 Posted April 12, 2015 Watching the royals, man they're good. I know it's only the first week, but this team is playing like they did in the playoffs and you could argue they're better this year. Like I said , still early, but I remember most experts choosing them to finish 4th, yea that's not happening lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Hurtin 457 Posted April 12, 2015 Tigers already up 3-0 in top of 1st. After Cabrera 2 run HR, Martinez hit in ribs, warnings were issued. Still in the top of the 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caulfield12 3,729 Posted April 13, 2015 Royals buzzsaw continues. Up 12-3 over Minnesota...Gibson vs. Volquez, then Vargas/Milone following an offday Tuesday. Shades of 2006, when the White Sox got off to the great start, then got chased down by the Tigers and Twins (Santana/Liriano)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyyle23 4,322 Posted April 13, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 05:02 PM) Houston could have easily had JD Martinez, Kris Bryant and Carlos Rodon. Instead all they have is Mark Appel. JD is doing pretty well batting near Miggy, but I don't think he belongs with those other two. Houston gave him 3 seasons and he didn't really do much with it. Houston has some pretty awesome players and prospects in Springer, Altuve and Singleton. They definitely made some questionable moves and could have been tremendously better.

caulfield12 3,729 Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Looks like they'll go with Dyson against RHP and Paulo Orlando against LHP for the moment. Speculation is he'll be out until around the last week of May or first week of June. Indians sign Jhoulys Chacin (Rockies released) and reliever Ryan Webb...DFA Shawn Marcum EDIT: Or the Royals turn Viciedo into another GG winner and outfield assist leader.
