ILMOU Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) I agree that if Brent isn't the starter, he needs to be sent down. Omar is just fine as a D-replacement and occasional starter. Yes, it's totally ridiculous if Morel is now in a platoon only against lefties plus d replacement. Morel NEEDS the 4 AB daily, because his future, if he has one, is not as part of a platoon. Meanwhile, DV can actually help the team with his bat, and will learn more against MLB pitching at this juncture, even if playing 4-5 games/wk. Omar covers the roster holes as you mentioned. This seems unbelievably obvious. Edited July 18, 2011 by Stan Bahnsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Don't forget that Morel in a platoon role is even more ridiculous since he's terrible against LHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally. Their inflexibility in making ANY roster changes to help the offense is mind-boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the more realistic lineup decision they can make right now is sending down Morel and calling up De Aza. It gives you more flexibility with pinch running and allows you to bench Rios once a week without having to make Lillibridge face RHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look around at every other roster and they're making moves not only driven by injuries but needs as well. I hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind that, but if we do that, I'd also like Lilli sent down to make room for DV. Margalus at SSS agrees with us among others, I mean it just makes too much sense. I'll never understand why this team was so hesitant to inject some new blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Mileage Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I, like many Royals' fans, am taking tonight's game off. People in KC have grown really, really tired of Davies. We've got a 6 man rotation for some reason, probably the same reason Davies is still on the roster. That said, I'm sure he'll pitch well tonight, well enough to give our front office a reason to continue to run him out there every 5 (6) days. FML.
