Disco Hayes defies the odds in Royals’ system - Kansas City Star:
"...he knows there are people who conclude that he has hit his ceiling, that Disco Time was fun while it lasted, but a pitcher can’t get batters out throwing in the 70s."

Fantasy Baseball: Deep Leagues With Minor Leaguers
Baseball Prospectus:
"Will Myers, C, Royals (Rookie-level Chukars)
Thursday's stats: 2-for-3, 3B, HR (1), 4 RBI, 2 BB, K
Few teams have been more aggressive in the draft over the last two years than the Royals, so it was no surprise to see the organization take Myers in the third-round and finally sign him to a $2 million bonus. A pure athlete at 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, Myers has a downright pretty swing and solid raw power, but as good as the offense is, there are still plenty of questions about his ability to stay behind the plate."
I'm getting a Joe Mauer tingle.

MLB Trade Rumors: Mark Teahen To Cleveland
www.kansascity.com | 10/26/2008 | Royals exploring deal to send Teahen to Indians for outfielder
Last night, MLB Home Plate reported Royals' GM Dayton Moore unequivocally denied there was any truth to the Mark Teahen trade rumor. Whether Teahen offers an upgrade at 3B to internal or external options isn't so important as the fact this is the second trade rumor floated that involved the Kansas City Royals. The first involved Florida Marlins' 1B Mark Jacobs (whether he reps an upgrade to Kia Ka'aahuie is more debatable.)
The signal I receive is the Royals are going to try an advance its rebuilding by acquiring proven major leaguers with a couple/few years of control. The Royals offense was putrid, and there doesn't appear to be help on the way at the upper levels of the organization.
