It’s beginning to look a lot like Ch---- icago! In the Royals dugout, that is. First, Josh Fields and Chris Getz moved there in exchange for Mark Teahen. Then the Royals acquired star outfielder Brian Anderson who had a brief stint with the Boston Red Sox. Finally, the Royals signed on Scotty Pods to be their leadoff man. Maybe everyone’s just moving as close to Joe Crede’s home as possible, seeing as he is still a free agent and had his 108th back surgery this offseason. Or maybe the Royals just plan to be the worst team in the history of the AL Central. No offense to Chris Getz, or Scotty Pods, who I think still have hope for a good year, but what is anyone thinking putting Josh Fields on their payroll? I would rather hire my grandma for that kind of money. She might hit less home runs, but she’ll certainly make less fielding errors.
Anyway, seeing how many Sox players there are in the Royals organization makes me think of where other Sox players have ended up. Swish is with the Yankees- he’s even a star pitcher over there. Other star pitchers with the Yankees that were once with the Sox: Javier Vazquez and Boone Logan. WINNERS! Orland Cabrera landed with the Twins, where the Great Joe Crede was last seen. Indeed, the Royals seem to have the highest percentage of ex-Sox players. And the Yahoo! Sports people seem to think the team overall is a “winner.”
In other news, the Sox resigned Castro for about a million. Not a bad price for him, but not exactly an earth-shattering, news worthy piece of information.
And finally, did I call it or did I call it? In an interview with Chuck Garfein over at the Sox Drawer, Jerry Reinsdorf admits that, if need be, the money is there, they just need the right deal. No kidding?
