Gordon has a fractured hand. Going on DL.

I think you got Rios confused with Gordo. Although I think Gordo's wrist injury has contributed to his slow start.

Post by **Coyote** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 8:13 pm

Yes, Rios got hit in the hand by a Minnesota pitcher. It looks like Lorenzo Cain will move to right field and Jarrod Dyson will replace Cain in center.

Also it looks like Luke Hochevar is going to spend some rehab time in Omaha. I hear he may start this Thursday...

Yeah, saw the Alex and I think in my head I always think Gordon first.

Called Gore up from AA to fill the roster spot.

They are keeping Cain in CF with Dyson in right. Some internet geniuses are of the opinion that it is so they don't take away Cain's potential Gold Glove like they did last season.

Just looking at early season stats... The Royals lead the majors with a .329 team average, a .532 Slugging and a .86 team WHIP

First loss of the season. Amazing how Kyle Gibson just has the Royals number.

Lots of suspensions for Royals today. Ventura got 7 Volquez got 5 Cain and Hererra got 2.

Unbelievable catch by Gordon yesterday.

I think that was the furthest into the stands I have ever seen someone catch a foul ball!

Post by **nebugeater** » Mon Apr 27, 2015 11:12 am

I heard on the Royals broadcast on Sunday that after he dived into the stands to catch the ball when he went out for the next inning he went over and gave a ball to the younger kid that was in his flight path.

Greg S · Post by **Greg S** » Tue Apr 28, 2015 10:22 am

Yep, pretty close. Article in the KC Star today says he gave the ball to the guy he hit full force and that guy in turn gave it to his son next to him.

Nice to see KC win last night over Kluber and the Tribe.

Don't look now, but guess who is the best team in MLB ?

Rios off the DL, Orlando back to Omaha.

Rios on rehab in Omaha last week (didn't look like that hand hurt at all):

Gordon hurt tonight in the 4th inning. Taken off on a cart. Looks to be his left leg and he slowed down in a strange way and went down hitting the outfield wall. Hope it is not as bad as it looked

To see Gordon not trying to finish the play, but throw his glove off, makes me think when he planted that foot before hitting the wall did some major damage/hurt.

Groin strain

Greg S · Post by **Greg S** » Thu Jul 09, 2015 7:54 am

When I saw it live, thought for sure it was an ACL/MCL tear. I still think we'll be lucky to get him back by August. For KC it's good that part of his time out will be the All Star break, but sad for Gordon since he was a starter.

I agree because with the way he fell it looked like he was in pain or at least something was wrong before he ever hit the wall. If there is such a thing as a groin injury being a good thing this is it because it sure looked like it was much worse.

Post by **Coyote** » Thu Jul 09, 2015 10:32 am

He said he heard something 'pop', I didn't know a groin went 'pop'.

Greg S · Post by **Greg S** » Thu Jul 09, 2015 10:39 am

Me either. Ned mentioned that then immediately said strain.

Greg

Post by **Coyote** » Thu Jul 09, 2015 11:22 am

8 weeks, a grade 2 + strain..

Royals land Cueto! Big time move.

Is it official? I heard a medical issue on a player being traded was a hold up.

iamjacobm · Post by **iamjacobm** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 10:57 am

Fox reporter just tweeted it out. It's still real fresh news but seems legit.

Now it looks like the Royals are going after INF Martin Prado from the Marlins for cash considerations.

Good utility player/PH would of been great for a game like today where they sat Moose and Hosmer. I like Cuthbert, but a vet would be a lot better come Sept/Oct.

Post by **Coyote** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 11:31 am

.... or it looks like Ben Zobrist from the A's

Greg S · Post by **Greg S** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 7:51 am

Everyone seems to be in on Zobrist.

Supposedly Royals just got Zobrist.

Wow gave up Manena.

Yeah that's painful. When I responded to an earlier post on the Royals and Zobrist, I put in that it seemed like everyone was in on Zobrist. Was afraid that it would drive the price up and it did.

If they win it all this year it wont matter, but giving up 5 of your top pitchers is a real investment in the now.

Post by **Coyote** » Tue Jul 28, 2015 5:28 pm

At least, ... Least..., Zobrist is signed till 2016, Cueto may just be on loan for the rest of the year. Big contracts coming up in 2016, I think Hosmer and a few others, so this looks like it's all in for either this year or next.

And I hear Cueto is pitching on Friday.
