The fans are vicious. The team has a history of injuring its players and encouraging that they play hurt for the rest of the contract. Its an elephant graveyard for so many: George Foster, Carlos Beltran, Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, K-Rod, Jason Bay, Luis Castillo, Oliver Perez, John Maine. The Royals rate as the top minor league system and at least have hope for the short term (although not for long). NBA: NJ Nets. Headed for Brooklyn. Sold after the real estate development was approved. Will move and still be a bad number 2 in NYC to a bad number 1 (Knicks). NFL: Detroit Lions. The few greats have left with a sour taste. Haven't won since IIRC 1957. 1957? Baseball: Mets. The fans are vicious. The team has a history of injuring its players and encouraging that they play hurt for the rest of the contract.

(LOVE Denver, but I ain't even reporting to a team that makes decisions based on whether you're an evangelical. Of course, that makes it very unlikely they'd have traded for me, but still.) # NHL: Edmonton. Unless they have a time machine and are trading me to the Oilers during the Gretzky glory years. # NBA: Cleveland. Living there would be depressing enough even if there was any chance in hell that you'd win a game. Honorable Mention: Memphis. # NFL: Buffalo. I've lived in WNY and I doubt I'd go back even if they were good. Right now you might as well be living in Cleveland, only without the commitment to winning. Hell, the Browns even have better uniforms. Honorable Mention: Oakland. # MLB: Rockies. (LOVE Denver, but I ain’t even reporting to a team that makes decisions based on whether you’re an evangelical.

I bet you can put together a solid all star team of former Royals who are still in the majors playing elsewhere I’d be shocked if DeJesus, Soria, Greinke and even that other young good infielder whose name I am forgetting (Gordon?) aren’t gone within 2 years.

But Pittsburgh isn't a bad city at all, there is the Steelers and Penguins, and with the talent they've traded away, at least they have some good scouts and potential if the owners weren't so damn cheap.

Somehow, methinks not.

There was plenty of trade speculation involving him before he got hurt.
