I would like a complete new look over and the follow players into leadership
Greinke and Soria,Aviles and Maiers

Starting Pitcher
Greinke
Soria
Crowe
Hocher
Lerew

Relievers Both Bannisters
Davis
O'Connor
Nicoli
Holland

Infielders
3B Moustakas- Lucas
SS Bianchi and Avilies
2B????????
1B Butler, C Smith

Catchers
Olivo
Pena

Outfielders
LfGordon, Jordan Parraz
CF Maier open???????
Rf Nike Frances and ????????

All the others should leave the team either droped ,traded or sent some other place.
Key position needed Rf a leader in Center field till two minor leaders step up and take charge there . Also a key posoiotion needed also a leader and must come into a trade Starter pitcher a closer a key defensive cf and right fielder

This could be what the team looks like in 2012,some of the backups are carrer minors type guys and I dont see Soria starting.I hope Moore can add a good pitcher and a good bat playing somewhere with most of these guys you have here with a trade or FA.He hasn't had much luck with that though.

That lineup/pitching combo loses 110 games next year.

I would make three trades

One with the Diamondbacks trade J Soria, CRosa ,R Tejeda, Teahan,Anderson and back to Diamondbacks in Calaspo for Steven Drew ,Eric Byrnes ,Tom Gordon back to Royals and Max Scheirzer.

This must be the thread where insane people hang out...

lol....Put the ice-pipe down....

one other trade would be Washington for outfielders NMorgon ,J Willingham and return reliever JMacDougal back to the Royals for Gordon ,Jacobs DeJesus and R Shealy

Hey LL! It's been a while.

Not sure that I agree with your proposals, but it's always good to hear from you. How're things going?

Olivo and Pena?

Larry, I'm not saying it should be Buck, but there's GOT to be a better combination than Olivo and Pena out there. PLEASE tell me there's better catchers out there for KC to take a stab at. Balls will be wearing a path to the backstop. Those guys could barely catch a cold.

Then the last trade. with Houston Send Betancourt,CCrisp Guillen ,Meche and Buck back to Houston for L Hawkins ,Ortiz,B Norris ,M. Hamton ,A Arias and S Gervacio

I think Royals need a complete overhaul . This way SS like Drew who the Diamondbacks will trade is a key and Washington would love to have Gordon. This would bring back two power outfielders and MacDougal Plus Three good Starters who also could be reliever s from Houston.

I am doing fine Thanks, What about you?

Don't be surprise if the two Rookies (First Year players could be there) possible Cody Clark or Myers even.

Why would the Nationals want Gordon? Where would they play him? Where did you hear that Arizona was looking to trade Stephen Drew? I don’t see any net gain in these proposals, how would anything you just suggested make the Royals better?

As long as it's not Olivo and Pena. Might as well be Stevie Wonder and Ironsides.

And yes, I agree with the other poster...nice to see you back.

[["Why would the Nationals want Gordon?"]] - wcg

You're kidding, right? You honestly believe they want to go into next season with that bum, Zimmerman, at third again?!

r u crazy i cant believe that first off soria couldnt b a starter and y would u get rid of players like dejesus and alberto

Wow. Talk about hard to read. Larry has Soria on his list of starters...don't know where you're getting that. And you can't believe anyone would want to get rid of Callaspo? Hard to tell if you're joking or not. Callaspo is poison with a glove on. Sure, he did a decent job (not stellar, but quite decent) at the plate, but his lack of defensive skills easily made up for that. He doesn't even know to tag an approaching lead runner when he's on the baseline with the ball in his glove. I can't really imagine a worse second baseman.

I liked Cody alot,he aways seemed to get the clutch hit when the Naturals needed one and he has a really good arm,he could be in the mix in a couple of years if the Royals can't come up with a good back up catcher.

Houston really like Buckwhen he was there could use him right now. Besides look at all that pitching that could be comming North.

The word down here in Arzonia is they want him and will go for him plus the other players that are seasoned.
