Maybe It Pays to Think Outside the Box

Royals Pushing DeJesus for Award. What about Zack?
But in the Royals tradition of mis-allocating resources, they have apparently decided to make a PR push for David to get a Gold Glove award for his work in left field.
The fact is, if DeJesus wins a Gold Glove and Zack Greinke does not win the Cy Young award, then this horrible, horrible season will be even more of a waste than it already is.
I'd better see a headline that reads "Club officials demand Greinke win Cy Young award or they will remove food from press box" and I'd better see it soon.

Gordon Demoted - Teahen Back at Third?
His splits from playing in right field.
His splits from the hot corner.
For 2009 alone, his OPS+ at third is 108 compared to 67 in the outfield.

Royals begin retooling for 2015.
Willie Bloomquist career line: 266/324/334
For a marginal (at BEST) upgrade at shortstop, the Royals have traded away one of their top pitching prospects, a guy who would have been competing for a rotation spot next year and is only 22 years old.
Unless there is an injury to Cortes that we don't know about, this is just an abysmal trade that makes no sense for a team struggling to stay out of last place.
Uhg. I mean... ugh...

25-34 : Rany Nails It
I think Rany nails it in his post below. I would say that I am still positive for this team to stay within shouting distance of .500, because the starting pitching is solid and getting Gordon and Aviles healthy and in the line up should help the offense and the defense quite a bit.

21-18 : Be Gone Ye Demons
"One year ago today, there was an enormous ovation for the home team. But, it was for Jon Lester's no-hitter at Fenway park. Tonight, it's for the Royals after a four run bottom of the ninth inning. ... So, what's the difference between this year and last year? There you go."
The camera was panning across the jumbo-tron showing the words "Royals Win!"
That no-no last year started a twelve-game losing streak for a Royals team that had crawled to one game below .500. This year is different.
You can go to the game recap from Bob Dutton at the Star below.
