MurcieOne Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Jayson Stark said that the Royals will acquire Reggie Sanders (Pirates) for Prospects. Thoughts? Desperation......they need starting pitching. IMO their offense is already pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Desperation......they need starting pitching. IMO their offense is already pretty good. Yeah, especially when Sweeney comes back. They need pitching, and bad. They just needed to make a trade to get the team's moral up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Reggie Sanders sucks.. I dont see them being too improved from this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Reggie Sanders sucks.. I dont see them being too improved from this Like I said it's probably more of a moral boost to show that management believes in them still. If they wanted to improve their team they would have gotten a pitcher, but they haven't gotten that done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 the royals are dumb, they are adding these sorry players in hopes of winning the division when there is no way they are going to keep up. They are just gonna be dissapointed when they end up way behind the six. Im sorry but i do not buy this season just yet. If the Indians and Tigers werent so bad the Royals wouldnt even be in first place. They are like 30-11 against the AL central and they have lost to the White Sox 4 times already counting tomorrow it will be 5. They are like 9-1 against detroit and kill cleveland too so without that they wouldnt even be any good. I see the Sox continuing to dominate them and win this division. We own the Twins and Royals this year we need to start playing good against Detroit and Cleveland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We own the Twins and Royals this year we need to start playing good against Detroit and Cleveland I think they know that they aren't going to win the division, yet couldn't get away with trading Beltran. So in the spirit of keeping the fans on their good side and in showing the players they are trying to win, they make this move, which is basically a token move for show. This sets them up for next year to rebuild how they had planned before, without turning all their fans away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Personally....I think that the 2003 KC Royals......are a poor man's 2000 White Sox. a Year ahead of their projections.... however, they arent as good as we were, and they probably aren't going to win this division. I see them being mediocre for some time... much like we've been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Now Jason Stark just reported that they got Al Levine for cash. It's still being tinkered with, but Levine is going to the Royals. Interesting, he could improve them. He's not a SP, but they need pitching period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorthsox Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 I like Levine, wish we could've got him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 He blows. Who are they gonna pick up next Minnie Minoso? Their reincarnating Joe Jackson.....so when they lose the division.... they can blame him for betting on games. They've also bought him shoes.
