Rosenthal: Juan Cruz signed by the Royals

Two year deal worth $6 million with an option for a third year, and we get their second round draft pick.

That's dirt cheap

I wish we gave him that kind of money, he was our best reliever last year.

Still, should be a nice draft for us, we gotta restock the farm.

He was our best reliever last year...

…and BoMel never used him.

Looks like something like 7 of the first 68 picks

So it looks like you guys will get the following picks:

(own 1st rounder)
(from LA)
(Hudson sandwich)
(Cruz sandwich)
(Lyon sandwich)
(from KC)
(own 2nd rounder)

I’m assuming Type A Ben Sheets doesn’t sign anywhere, and that the remaining Type A/Bs all sign somewhere (Cabrera – A, Grudzielanek – B, D.Reyes – B, Byrd – B).

Not a bad haul for AZ

For some reason the draft numbers became a numbered list

Here are the picks I listed: 16, 17, 35, 41, 47, 64, 68.

Yeah sorry :) Using the # sign...

in multiple rows automatically makes your stuff into a numbered list. See the “formatting guide” at the bottom for details.

A slight error

Those last two picks (in the 2nd round) should be 63 & 67, assuming all but Sheets sign elsewhere of course.

Thanks

for sorting that out…. that IS quite a haul, isn’t it?

Awww, that's too bad...

I really like Juan Cruz, he’s such a nice guy…

I'm kind of disappointed, too

I was hoping we might get him back. Too bad.

win win for me

I love Cruz and happen to think it’s ridiculous that he was fetched for so little. But seeing how I’m also a KC fan, this is great news. Draft pick for AZ, great reliever for KC. Thank you very much.
