They're not really known for keeping pitchers healthy.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042654493802816115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27163465.post-1147878022681891222006-05-17T11:00:00.000-04:002006-05-17T11:00:00.000-04:00Agreed, Ng is too good for this. 90% of the execu...Agreed, Ng is too good for this. 90% of the executives in baseball are too good for this. That's why there are rumors flying that the reason Baird hasn't been fired is because Glass can't convince anyone else to take the job. But hey, at least he pulls in $30 million-plus in revenue sharing every year.<BR/><BR/>And you've gotta love Buddy Bell's rationale for not starting Huber at first base: "that wouldn't be fair to Dougie." He's of course referring to Doug ".236/.317/.327" Mientkiewicz.<BR/><BR/>This is why the Royals are my personal crusade. I'd like to think that firing the GM would really help this franchise, but it would only scratch the surface of the problem. If Glass won't sell the team, he at least has to give his next GM free reign to blow up the entire organization and start over (and let him spend a little money).<BR/><BR/>That people still go to games there is literally unbelievable.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042654493802816115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27163465.post-1147877652967303412006-05-17T10:54:00.000-04:002006-05-17T10:54:00.000-04:00I'm not sure what happened to Colt Griffin, but I ...I'm not sure what happened to Colt Griffin, but I remember the reaction when the Royals drafted him. He was the ultimate tools pitcher - the first HS pitcher ever to hit 100 on the gun. But he wasn't all that great, even in high school. What a shock that he didn't pan out.Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09549212529481086642noreply@blogger.com
