| ROYALS WORLD CHAMPS IN 2007!!!!
Okay, so check it out:
1. Jeffrey Bianchi - SS - Second
high school shortstop picked in the 2005 draft, overshadowed by
Justin Upton. Hit like .475 in rookie ball last year.
2. David DeJesus - CF - Consistent as hell, bats around .290, developing power, could go for 20 homers this season.
3.
Alex Gordon - RF - Best player in 2005 draft, will become the
cornerstone of the Kansas City Royals. .300 BA, 30 HR, 100 RBIs
4. Billy Butler - LF - Draws comparisons to Barry Bonds; hits for power, draws lots of walks.
5. Justin Huber - 1B - 2005 Minor League Player Of The Year. Australian Mike Sweeney.
6. Open spot - DH - Probably some journeyman free agent or career minor leaguer, a la Emil Brown
7. Mark Teahen - 3B - He's improving
8. John Buck - C - Same
9. Angel Berroa - 2B - Ehh he kind of sucks. Hopefully a move to second base will cut down some of the shitty errors.
SP - Zack Greinke - Hell of a curveball. Get your stupid ass back here.
SP
- Denny Bautista - They say he's got good stuff, potential to be the
staff ace. Learned how to pitch from his cousin, Pedro Martinez,
which is promising.
SP - J.P. Howell - Blazed through the minor leagues in less than a full year. Got pretty roughed up, but he was rushed.
SP
- Mike Wood - Doesn't get as much hype as the others involved in the
Beltran trade, but is still a solid, consistent starter. Or
reliever.
SP - They're saying they're going to draft a pitcher with
the first pick. I say we go for the best player in the draft,
which I heard was a shortstop but I forget who it is and there's no MLB
mock drafts on the internet so whateva.
RP - Ambiorix Burgos - Cool name. Dawg.
RP
- Andrew Sisco - Acquired in the Rule 5 Draft from the Chicago Cubs, I
believe. 6'10" 270 pounds. I've seen him up close and he is
huge.
RP - Mike MacDougal - Regained his from from 2003, when he was an All-Star closer. Ugly ass motherfucker.
Any of the latter three guys could
be closer. "Ambiorix Burgos" just sounds like a closer.
Sisco would also be pretty good, but rumor has it he might return to
the rotation. But right now, they'll stick with MacDougal.
All our relievers can throw in the upper 90's. A lot better than
the starting rotation.
Shane Costa will be a reliable
backup. I think he looks like Vin Diesel. Perhaps when all
these guys are called up and good, we'll still have Mike Sweeney.
So he'll get the DH spot. He'll be a doucehbag, and say he wants
to start out at first base, but he'll DH. One of our former
draftees will step up and be a reliable backup for John Buck.
So with that in mind, the Royals
will be really fucking good, and Allard Baird has taken the initiative
to sign some of these guys to long-term deals. David Glass is
expanding the payroll and being less of a greedy bastard. Totally
sucking the past 3 years is paying off as we have gotten good draft
picks. Thus, we will rock socks.
Its silly how I seem to regain faith every year. Only to be shot down. But whateva.
Ah, so many memories: Larry Horse,
Hebrew National, Hot Dog Race, Sunday Fun Run, kids eat
free (twice), Albert is a Pujol, "TWUCK DA FINS", the lady in the
lab coat asking me and Drew to be on the Jumbotron, Van Halen getting
everyone pumped before the game, Sam Beckett on the organ, crazy fat
screaming Cardinals fan, Taco Bell Value Menu, Sam and Chan,
wicked-ass napkin storm, "Will you sign my Growlithe?", that chick that
saw me a year later and called me "that kid with the Growlithe", Zack
Greinke calling me the weirdest kid he'd ever seen after asking him to
sign my Growlithe, dropping our many hot dog wrappers on
spectators below, sitting in our corner where we signed our names,
almost getting kicked out of our infamous corner for causing
ruckus and throwing hot dog wrappers, HyVee Fireworks Friday, just
chilling out with my homeboys or my pretty lady on a sweet, sweet,
summer's day. Geeee....
P.S. And if you're
18 or over and you're a dirty Jackson Countian and happen to be reading
this, vote "YES" on Question 1 on April 4th, and also for
the rolling roof, becase I personally think its sweet, and you
should do what I say.
