  • Moustakas called up from AAA

    Aviles sent down. Looks like the future has arrived in KC.

    Look for a lot of top or near-top prospects to be called up the rest of this month. It's strictly coincidental that the odds are that such prospects won't achieve Super Two status.

      Now if we can just get TB to bring up Desmond Jennings... Moustakas is a real power shot in the arm for my 5th place AL only league and Desmond's speed would be icing on the cake (and hole filler for my 5th OF slot).

        Not disagreeing with your broader point, but for the Royals at least, I don't think it applies as much. They brought Hosmer up well before the likely Super Two deadline, and between the two, Hosmer is the better prospect.

          How does Aviles get demoted before Getz???
          After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

            Fielding skill, or at least perceived fielding skill, plays a big part in that.
