I couldn't possibly be more supportive of your vote for Vinnie. On a completely different subject....
Not only do trades happen at the winter meetings, but the initial feelers that eventually lead to trades happen there as well. With that in mind, it would be nice to have a pitching coach who could say definitively which pitchers he wanted to keep, which ones he wouldn't mind getting rid of, and which ones he would like to acquire. In the absence of a pitching coach, opportunities will likely pass right by the team.
We'll soon know if the Royals are aware of that or not. If they don't have a pitching coach in time, whether they care or not will be a matter of pure speculation.
The pitching coach hire has taken quite a bit of time, hasn’t it? I’m sure they know where they want to go. Wonder if there are some other issues holding things up?
Thanks, and nice job as always. Also, sad news today as legendary (and short-time Royals) pitcher Gaylord Perry has passed. He's throwing spitters to Saint Peter...
I just saw that news. I enjoyed watching him fidget on the mound. One of a kind. If I remember correctly, he also hustled George Brett’s bat off the field in the Pine Tar Game.

And there you have your new pitching coach...Brian Sweeney from Cleveland.

Believe you are correct, I remember that, too.
Brian Sweeney, huh? I'd love to say I know all about him. But actually....um...uh.... Your thoughts?
Isn’t the special achievement award like who was the best at giving back to the community
It’s an award for an unsung player or someone who deserved recognition for a strong season but wasn’t necessarily the best player.
