Kansas City Royals (56-106, .346, 5th in AL Central)
Right...
The Royals...
Should I start with the glut of first basemen or the eight (and a half) starting pitchers listed on the depth chart? Ooh! Maybe the fact that they have the most difficult to spell infield in the majors with Mienkiewicz and Grudzielanek! How about the man who followed, uh the last guy, from St. Louis, Reggie Sanders with his eighth team?
Kidding aside, Sanders keeps getting moved and every team is sorry to see him go, but at least he stuck around with the Cardinals long enough to get all his mail for a minimum of eight months. Good job, Reggie!
I'll admit, I had to track him down, but Bobby Madritsch is a personal favorite of mine. Born in Oak Lawn and a product of Reavis High School, he's a local boy. Honestly, he'd be a good fit for the White Sox, even as a pet project as he recovers from multiple arm injuries. He also holds one of my favorite career highlights blurbs on the team web site that I've come across.
And I quote, "Leads the franchise in body tattoos with 17." He's a real life Ricky Vaughn and I so dig that about him.
Angel Berroa is a few short years removed from a Rookie of the Year award and hasn't done much since (.270; 55 RBI; 108 Ks in 2005). Third baseman Mark Teahen is another Moneyball kid who does, you know, whatever in Kansas City.
The bright spot in the bullpen last year was Andy Sisco (3.11 ERA; in 67 games; 75.1 IP; 76 Ks) after Mike MacDougal blew out his arm and never came around after he returned. In the past three years, his save totals were 27, 1 and 21. The Royals need him back like Star Jones' husband needs a well-stocked spank bank.
Royals, here's the basement, we hope the accomodations are to your liking. And we even put out the little soaps you liked so much last time. Here's to hoping you keep your manager through the first month of the season this year.
