Royals Trade for Cubs Utilityman Freel

Ok this is a world buster move for the Royals but they have made a move for Chicago Cubs utility man Ryan Freel for a player to be named later.

Freel, 33, has a .269 career average in 576 games over eight seasons with 22 homers and 119 RBIs and gives the Royals depth in the outfield, third base, and second.   The move gives the Royals more flexability in the trade market to improve this team for the long haul.

Freel the Royals believe has a good chance to play center field and spell Mitch Maier when needed. From our view point Freel who's small numbers (sub .200 BA, zero homers) doesn't appear to be an every day player for the Royals but does open up the Royals to listen for trades for Jose Guillen and Mark Teahen.

You have really created some excellent points right here. I particularly appreciate the way you've been able to stick so much thought into a fairly short publish (comparitively) which creates it an thoughtful publish in your subject. In my opinion, you've introduced the subject in a quite thorough yet concise manner, that's genuinely useful when someone would like to obtain the facts without spending too a lot time searching the Web and sifting out the noise to discover the answers to their concerns. I generally get so frustrated with so numerous within the last outcomes within the main SE's due to the fact they normally appear to mainly be filled with filler content material that often isn't very sensible. Should you don't mind I am heading to add this post and your blog to my delicious favorites so i can write about it with my loved ones. I show up forward to coming back to study your future posts too.
