QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) Yeah, I'm relatively confident that he's back. Due to this offensive burst, his WAR has gone from -1.3 to -0.5 in about two weeks. I'd like to see it at a positive clip sometime soon.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) Zumaya just f***ed his arm. Down on the ground and done for the season, is my guess, That guy still hasn't figured out that constantly throwing 100 MPH across your body can't last.

Quentin's wOBA is now at .348. He was at .310 not too long ago.

Hopefully, Rios' correction doesn't result in a huge dip. He's projected to hit with a .354 wOBA and a .801 OPS for the rest of the year. We might see his average dip slightly below .300. Hopefully, it's nothing more than that.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:40 PM) The AL is a wonderful beast. It has nothing to do with the AL or the NL. This Royals team probably played the worst baseball I've seen since the Pirates series. They made errors everywhere, gave up outs on bad base running. They sucked. The only problem was that we sucked even more.

That pitch was right down the f***ing middle.

This offense sucks.

We swing at crap and take the strikes, nice...

Of course, a freaking infield fly.

We got a gift there, that was a strike.

I have a feeling we won't get s***.

Loaded! Uh oh, here's the dreaded Mark Kotsay.

Quentin's OPS is now above .800.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:31 PM) Pitching around him to get to AJ? Why wouldn't you? That's another DP waiting to happen.

Despite the left side of the Royals infield playing like utter crap, we fail to score more than one run.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:29 PM) i am fairly confident i can play better shortstop than betancourt Funny thing is, he probably thinks he's hot s*** over there.

Please, somebody take advantage of these damn errors.

Thank you Yuniesky, once again.

QUOTE (noodle_53 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:27 PM) Is there anyone in your system who refuses to take walks? He's the likely choice. Not Tyler Flowers. Definitely Viciedo.

Rios just missed two cookies.

QUOTE (noodle_53 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:25 PM) Good point, but they are talking about his all-around game, not just his defense. His WAR right now is 0. Plus, don't you have to improve after posting a -20. There's nowhere to go but up, right? You can be worse, it's hard to do though. And a WAR of 0 is actually a improvement for him.

QUOTE (noodle_53 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:21 PM) Sad thing is, all I hear about around here is how improved he is this year. I need a SoxTalk board for Royals fans. BTW, what do you think Dayton Moore would want for David DeJesus?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:24 PM) In Alexei's last 26 games, he's put up a .316/.353/.474/.827 line. Why would you consistently waste solid production at the 8th spot when no one is getting on in front of him, and no one is driving him in? The fact that he has a .353 OBP in that time makes me think he should hit second.

Thank you Yuniesky.

QUOTE (noodle_53 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:21 PM) Sad thing is, all I hear about around here is how improved he is this year. I need a SoxTalk board for Royals fans. He has improved, but he's still on pace for a -11, which is better than -20, that's what he had last year.
