Royals Sign Bloomquist
January 10, 2009 by
Eli's MLB Rumors
| Comments
The Royals and free agent infielder Willie Bloomquist have agreed to a two year deal. Bloomquist, who hit .279 with 0 HR in 71 games, really is not the type of player the Royals needed. He did have a .377 OBP, but his career OBP is .322, so to say he is an on-base guy is way off base...
Royals notebook: Bloomquist or Maier will replace Crisp in center

Look for the Royals to choose between Willie Bloomquist and Mitch Maier as their interim center fielders while Coco Crisp recovers from a strained right rotator cuff. Manager Trey Hillman shows no inclination to move David DeJesus back to his old position.

Could the Seattle Mariners go with a 6-man bullpen and 5-man bench, rather than a 7-man 'pen and 4-man bench? That is the latest rumblings, here's how they could pull it off:

Initially I really liked this deal for the Pirates, who during this season earned the benefit of the doubt in my mind. After learning that Iwamura was only under contract through 2010 however, I was less excited. As often gets said with deals like this, "well, the Pirates...

Similar to the 2010 Relievers post from several days ago, this is meant to present a snapshot of who remains on the roster, can we jettison some dead weight, and are there any holes to be filled? The particulars about how many batters the team keeps on the 25-man and how...

The puns are a-poppin' because it's a perpetual pit of patheticness in Kansas City. David Glass and the Royals have decided that general manager Dayton Moore is doing such a rip-roaringly good job of guiding the U.S.S. Willie Bloomquist that they've locked him up for...

I admit that I've waffled on the idea of trading Carlos Delgado, my biggest concern is how do they replace his production in the line-up. If the team truly needs a shake up ( which I believe it does) then the place to do it is with Delgado, not only is Delgado the only core player...

Plain and simple. The defense has deep flaws, The relief pitching became far worse when DM thought "Inexpensive relievers were good, therefore expensive ones will be better", and the starting pitching fell apart due to the stretching out of most of the rotation.
