I’m with you on Ibanez. **** no to the **** no to Grifol. He was TERRIBLE as the hitting coach, and he has been completely ineffective as the catching instructor. He’s been in that role since 2014, and Royals catchers - specifically Perez - are very bad at framing (which should be the primary focus of the catching instructor). My guys inside the team HATE Grifol. He’s a blame-placer and a back-stabber. Ibanez, on the other, is a future star IMO. He’s smart, he’s a motivator, he can reach both stars and scrubs due to his history as a player (good enough that anyone should listen, enough troubles getting to MLB to relate to bench guys). |

I never thought anything would get me on the Jason Kendall train - but Metheny might do just that. Barf.

Any chance Clint Hurdle would come back to KC?

Just here for the Royals

I’m confused why there’s a discussion on the Royals next manager. There’s absolutely zero evidence that Ned won’t be back for 2019.

It is absolutely, incontrovertibly true. He ****ed around with Taveras so much that Mozeliak had to trade Allen Craig just to get him to play him. He ruined the arms and careers of Kevin Siegrist, Seth Maness, and Trevor Rosenthal. He played favorites, preferring shitty veterans that attended his Bible study group over superior, younger options. The 2011 system had these guys in it Matt Adams Matt Carpenter Allen Craig Lance Lynn Shelby Miller Trevor Rosenthal Kevin Siegrist Carlos Martinez Tommy Pham Oscar Taveras Then add Freese, Jaime Garcia, Wainwright, Yadi, Matt Holliday, and Beltran on it. He had a team filled with elite veteran talent and about 110 fWAR just in those guys I listed above that weren't even regular players yet. He was absolutely handed a Lambo. |
