Infante out with shoulder strain... Missing Banafacio already...
TraceOneInfinite:
Dammit.. I was so close to going into my first season totally satisfied with the Royals. Then they had to go and cut Emelio Banafacio to make cap space. This guy could play every non-battery position well, was the fastest guy in baseball, and hit plus .300 for the Royals last year. But they cut him cause they were over budget. I AM NOT GOING TO STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS ALL YEAR! THIS CAN NOT BE UNDERSTATED.
Now.. already Infante is out with shoulder strain after signing a huge contract in the offseason, AND WE HAVE NOBODY TO BACK HIM UP NOW!!!
*****************
Other than that, I'm extremely happy about the Royals right now. Playing overseas looks like it really benefited Moose. He hit back to back homers in the last game and he has a new approach at the plate. He's not just up there hacking. He changes his approach with two strikes, and I like what I am seeing.
Luke Hochever is still blowing guys away. He's a former #1 overall pick and was a failure his whole career, till last year he was moved to the bullpen and became a juggernaut. Now, I wouldn't even be mad if he opens up the season back in the rotation. The Royals are soooooo loaded with pitching... we will end up having 3 or 4 viable starters open the season in the pen, including guys like Duffy and Ventura who may be Cy Young candidates one day.
Everything is going well in KC.. just that one fucking issue of cutting Banafacio is bug me all year long. I hope banafacio hits like .200 this year for his new team and then I will feel a lot better. Last year we traded Will Myers and the guy ends up BEING FUCKING ROOKIE OF THE YEAR in Tampa Bay. It's okay because I love James Shields and I was happy to finally have a winning season... but still... I want our guys to suck when they go play for other teams, especially Banafacio!!

Not to change the subject, but Billy Hamilton is the fastest player in baseball, followed by Dee Gordon.

While the Royals have had a loaded minor league system lately, I have a feeling that Will Myers trade is going to cause heartburn for many years to come:/ That kid is a stud.
