CSF Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 From Rotoworld: Miguel Asencio will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the season, the Royals announced tonight. Asencio would have been a top candidate for a rotation spot if he showed up to camp healthy, but his elbow has been giving him problems since last May. He won't be a factor again until 2005. Refresh my memory, but wasn't this the same guy that threw 16 straight balls in his ML Debut vs. the Sox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox_Sonix Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 the Royals will not win the Central this year b/c of their pitching. Not only are they not good, but they are injury plagued too, already. I really think it will come down to us and the Twins again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I agree KC won't win it. Just like the Cubs are a likely flop. Things just sometimes go South when you are expected to do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Zack Greinke will be startin by June. I'm being serious here, I think it will be sooner. KC needs to give Ollie North a call, and order up some arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with u on that Cheat, except that he's been hammered in Spring Training so far. Still needs a month or 2 at AAA. Who know they mite sign James Baldwin!

It's hard enough to find numbers on guys I actually care about... They are in serious need of pitching help though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Damn that is another huge blow to KC. Does anyone know what their starting 5 looks like now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSF Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 Damn that is another huge blow to KC. Does anyone know what their starting 5 looks like now? 1. Anderson 2. May 3. Affeldt 4. Appier 5. (your name here ) more than likely, Greinke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 With all the praise that KC has gotten, I don't see how anyone could pick them to win over the Sox or even Twins b/c both have better rotations than the Royals and just as good of a lineup. IMO, Beuhrle is better than Anderson. Loaiza and Garland are better than May and Affeldt. And, Wright and Showe will be, at worst, just as good as Appier and Greinke this year. Appier is on his way down, and had a terrible year last year. And, although I do think Greinke will be a good major league pitcher, I don't think this is his year. He needs more time in the minors. So, if Greinke is their 5th starter this year, I think he'll get beat up pretty badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 1. Anderson 2. May 3. Affeldt 4. Appier 5. (your name here ) more than likely, Greinke Wow. That is terrible. Not even OK. Terrible. There is one guy on that list that scares me at all, and that is Affeldt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Anderson may not have great stuff, but he get hitters out. He and Affeldt are the only 2 legit starters they got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead johnson Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Garland is better Affeldt. You might want to do some research on that one. Scouts say that he has the nastiest stuff of any young left handed pitcher in the majors. No more blister problems either, as he had a chunk of the fingernail removed which was causing them.

I really think it will come down to us and the Twins again Got to agree with you.It's kind of like what Jack McDowell said in his Yahoo column,the Sox are "the best of a mediocre bunch" (and that's word for word). Personally,I like the fact that the pressure is on KC and the Twinkies.Let them feel what its like to be the favorite.The Sox have melted under the pressure of being the favorite over the past 3 years.Let's see what happens when nothing is expected of this team.
