So much for hope...... Royals lose Game 1 (and game 2)

This is usually my philosophy, and it works well. I just kind of pick a few players I like, like Mesh, Guillen, Soria, and then follow their progress; rather than focus on the team and wins/losses. I kind of started to buy into the hype about the Royals turning it around this year, but I should get over that pretty quick.

Juan Cruz came from the Dbacks. He was lights out last season but no one wanted ot sign him b/c he was a class A free agent so no one wanted to lose a first round draft pick by signing a set up man.

Exactly. So you know about Jaun Cruz, then you should understand how stupid it was for our manager to designate Farnsworth as our #1 set-up guy going into the season; just based on him having a few good outings at the end of spring training. Jaun Cruz should be our #1 set-up guy, his ERA is around 2 and Farnsworth is around 4 or 5 from last year; so clearly Cruz should be the guy.
This reminds me of watching Herm Edwards coaching the Kansas City Chiefs, when he did things like designating Brodie Croyle to be the Chiefs quarterback of the future.

The only thing I can think of is Juan Cruz signed pretty late in the off season so maybe Tillman doesn't feel comfortable putting him in that position just yet.

N Grienke better get his shit together b/c I have him on two of my fantasy teams lol.

I am hoping Grienke gets rocked tonight, the Sox hit him well. I put a unit on the Sox at -103.
