Volquez had TJ surgery near the end of last season.

Also Gordo needs eyeglasses

:rolleyes:
Ridiculous.

You really think Dayton Moore made moves based on Hosmer liking someone? If those guys being dicks in the clubhouse played a part in moving them, then Moore came to that decision on his own, probably with input from Ned, not because Hosmer told him to.

ROFL ok
Just because you don't know doesn't mean it isn't so.


You probably told me the rams were staying in stl. Over 10 years ago too. .:rolleyes:

Back when Alex first started sucking, I said that I thought he needed LASIK.
Unfortunately, if that was the issue, I assume he would have addressed it by now.

I'm aware. Give him a 2 year "show me" deal like Hoch and see how it goes. He's loved in the clubhouse and at this point, let's see how it goes!

Not in the way most think. Hos and Valencia were actually super close...

And word was Valencia's epic douchebaggery was influencing Hos in the wrong ways. I.E. bullying Billy, not respecting "the process", etc.

I thought I remembered Valencia getting blackballed from the team after he told the media about the team boycotting 810 because Hosmer and Dyson couldn't get in to an 810 Zone to see a Mayweather fight. They they traded him a month or so later.

I would think Hos was on Valencia's side on that one. All indicators are that Hos had/has a big bromance with Valencia.

This was right after Valencia gave Billy a concussion...

Hos made a choice here to defend one of the most reviled players in the MLB (both by FO's and by fans) instead of Billy - a teammate he had for years. This is while Billy was still relatively high regard by the KC community.

The word was that GMDM was concerned about the effects Valencia was having on Hosmer (they were both Miami guys and had an instant friendship). I could be wrong, but the story that Hosmer demanded Valencia to be traded is a complete 180 from what everything I heard before.

Did anyone like Billy besides Gordon?

Hosmer has earned near unlimited equity with our franchise, i.e. DM, for what he's done here. He's been involved in so many huge moments that if he wants a Shithead gone, then the Shithead be gone.

The triple vs Oak in the WC game, the winner game 2 vs ANA in extras, the ASG HR/MVP, the gold gloves, the 2-run HR game 4 vs Hou, the mad dash in the WS clincher. He's done more for the fans than no-names could ever dream of.


The triple vs Oakland is probably the single best AB I've seen in 35 years of watching the Royals.

His agent.

His AB against Lester in the 8th was every bit as good imo.

Oh yeah. Seems like a typical GMDM buy low move, though.

Ok. Then why doubt me then? ****er
