AARON CROW RUMORS & GOSSIP

MLB: Who Aaron Crow is and how the Royals are Wasting Him

It’s 7 p.m. in the banquet room of a Hampton Inn on the University of Missouri campus in February, and a few hundred people are scarfing down BBQ wings and waiting for Royals All-Star reliever Aaron Crow to speak. One of the best pitchers the Mizzou baseball program ever had, Crow was drafted twice in the first round before eventually signing with the Royals in 2009 and shooting...

Fantasy Baseball Closer Report – Three’s Company, Four’s a Crowd

Crow and Broxton Will Save the Royals Bullpen As the Rotation Starts to Take Form

As I mentioned in my article a couple of weeks ago, Joakim Soria has gone down with Tommy John Surgery and will be out for the rest of the 2012 season. Now the Royals are playing closer by committee until they find a solid candidate to fill the position for the rest of the year. In my opinion the Royals are not going to contend in the AL Central, so they can give some of their young...

Royals notes: Crow's 2011 workload a factor in quest for a starting job

Aaron Crow's spring audition for a spot in the Royals' rotation comes with an asterisk. Even manager Ned Yost concedes it would be "tough" for Crow to handle a season-long workload as a starting pitcher.

Crow ready to take on next challenge

Aaron Crow To Be Given A Chance To Start In Kansas City

One-time Washington Nationals draftee Aaron Crow will be given a chance to compete for the Kansas City Royals starting rotation, according to, you guessed it, Jim Bowden. You’ll recall that the Nationals (and Bowden) drafted Crow with their first pick in the 2008 draft only to lose the rights to the potential-filled starter when the two sides couldn’t reach an agreement before...

Is Starting Aaron Crow a Good Idea?

As Jack Moore covered earlier, the Royals today acquired the services of Jon “The Ox” Broxton. Purportedly, the idea was that adding a reliever was less expensive than finding a starter — which is true — and that they already had a pitcher in the pen that could move to the starting rotation next year — which is more debatable. The thing is, they might...
