Davis,

I posted this at RR, but don’t overreact to Crooow’s comment. He was fucking with me on Twitter at the same time, and we’re friends. It’s what he does.

I can tell you that everyone would take to a link a little more actively if it were a little more timely and if you were a little more active. I do encourage you to be a little more active at RR. You’ll find users that you take a shine to, and that’ll ultimately be what draws you in.

If you’ve got Royals-specific content (especially if it’s something we haven’t beaten to death already), post the link in the fanshots. Everyone is always looking for more stuff to read about the Royals.

I think that with Myers ceiling, Dayton should have aimed higher. Dan Haren, RA Dickey, David Price. I like Shields and it’s gonna be awesome to have a really talented guy like him on the mound, but I’m not sure he was worth the price.

only thing i disagree with is.. james shields is a great pitcher, in my eyes a suitable #1.
In the last 2 years, there’s been few pitchers with better stats. he’s thrown a league high 6 shut outs, another league high 14 complete games. he’s 2nd in innings pitched with 447 and third in K’s with 448. that’s a K every inning. He’s a hell of a pick up but i think very highly of Wil Myers. We’ll just have to wait and see.

in my opinion, just another typical royals trade… trade away promising talent for yet another “sure thing”. when are the royals gonna learn…
