Kansas City Royals Team Report
INSIDE PITCH Keeping Zack Greinke beyond 2010 may not be an easy task for the Royals. Greinke, who turned 25 on Oct. 21, was the Royals' first-round pick in 2002, the sixth overall selection. He was 13-10 with a 3.47 ERA in 32 starts last season and struck out 183 in 202 1/3 innings. Greinke will be e...

Week In Review: 10/26 - 11/1: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com
The Royals and Marlins wasted no time in getting the offseason trades going, when Florida shipped first baseman Mike Jacobs to Kansas City for reliever Leo Nunez. I really don't get this move, as the Royals had a stockpile of 1B/DH ...

The 100 Greatest Royals of All-Time - #41 John Wathan
Tony Muser has since passed him. How awful is it that only Dick Howser has managed more games in a Royals uniform than Tony Muser? Not even Whitey Herzog or Jack McKeon could last as long as Muser. And Whitey never had a losing season in Kansas City! McKeon had the first winning season for the you...

Opinion: Ladnier Fired As Scouting Director
Zack Greinke is the only player from this class to have any kind of major league impact. Although Jonah Bayless did net the Royals their 2006 pitcher of the year Mark Redman. Whoopeeee! First round selection Mike Moustakas had a great year after a slow start and fifth round pick Adrian Orti...

Opinion: Game 3 Open Thread - Royals (2-0) at Tigers (0-2)
It's Zack Greinke against Jeremy Bonderman this afternoon as the Royals go for a surprising season opening sweep of the Tigers. A reader named Tim sent me this link, which is worth clicking. Clearly, they're still the same old Royals to many outsiders.

Opinion: Soria as a starter? Not everyone agrees
The Royals situation with Soria is mirrored by the Yankees quandry with Joba Chamberlain. He dominated as a reliever and scouts think he has the stuff to be a very successful starting pitcher. Many commentators think the Yankees should keep in the bullpen and groom him to be Mariano River...

Opinion: A Conversation with Kansas City Star's Sam Mellinger
Sam Mellinger: I do think it's sustainable, if by "sustainable" you mean that the Royals will continue to progress --- not that they'll continue to beat John Lackey with John Thomson. The free agent thing, there is the argument that the Royals could be in line for an extra draft pick by losin...
