Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

No one wants to play for the Royals

I thought you guys could/would appreciate this...a screencap of a Facebook exchange between former Royals prospect Daniel Cortes (who you guys got in the Yuniesky Betancourt deal) and former Royals prospect Daniel Gutierrez (who the Rangers just acquired from K.C.).

You can see it here.

Ah, the wonders of modern technology...

Incidentally, your boy Wee Willie Bloomquist blew the game for the Royals last night.  He made an error that led to the one (unearned) run Zack Greinke allowed last night, that allowed the Angels to take a 1-1 tie into extra innings and ultimately beat the Royals.

If the Angels make it into the playoffs by one game, it is Bloomquist's fault.

According to the commenter on LSB

who got hit with the same question, he got it from Royals Review; so you’d have to ask the folks over there.

Obviously Dayton Moore took the screen shot.

His advanced knowledge of computers appears to be on par with his understanding of modern player evaluation methods.

It was probably a good thing.

Unless we assume we’re already looking at a shop before the photograph was taken, it would take a pretty hefty effort to shop that now and fake it. Thus, we can take some liberties with legitimacy (since the post is now reportedly gone).

Fans are typically idiots.
