2011-06-21 13:00:00	Chris Getz has trade value??? (timber from KC )	Haha, maybe. It's entirely possibly they simply promote Giavotella to take his spot, but I think it's more likely they wait a little longer. (Derek Carty)
2010-06-15 13:00:00	What the holy-heck is Alex Gordon going in AAA!? And I mean besides raking. Isn't he too young and have a far superior prospect pedigree to be treated as if he's 4A? (WilliamWilde from Boston, MA)	We've been having a desultory discussion on our internal mailing list as to what the heck the Royals are thinking, though "thinking" may be setting the bar too high. It's not just Gordon, it's Ka'aihue (recall that Ken Phelps came up as a Royal and they refused him too), it's Chris Getz, it's Podsednik and Mitch Maier... There are so many areas where they might tinker around the edges and get a few more runs on the board. If it's obvious to us it's obvious to them, so the question is why don't they care?

2010-04-05 09:30:00	Season Opener Roundtable	So, mid-meltdown, the viewers of the Royals game have been polled as to which newcomer will help the most: Rick Ankiel 28% Chris Getz 28% Jason Kendall 17% Scott Podsednik 27% Clearly, "None of the above, they're all godawful, now please let me start my 162 games of suffering in peace" wasn't accepted as a valid answer.
