The Detroit Tiger Weblog — The Tigers buzz in the media centers on Valverde. John Lowe over at the Freep wonders if Vaverde is out of sync with irregular work and Jason Beck weighs in on his blog (thanks Vince in MN for posting this morning). There are also trade rumors (more like wishful thinking) swirling around with at least a [...]

July 30, 2010It’s Starting to Smell Like 1982
The Daily Fungo — As the Tigers’ tumble from contender to irrelevant bystander accelerates, I’ve been thinking about other seasons that began with promise only to result in an unexpected death spiral. One that jumps to mind is 1982. You’re forgiven if that season brings back only memories of Harvey Kuenn’s Brewers — Harvey’s Wallbangers — which marched to [...]

- With Gordon, Royals have an opening for a late bloomer Kansas City Star Royals hitting coach Kevin Seitzer watches closely as Alex Gordon works on his swing. It’s 4:40 p.m. on Thursday, hours before a game against Baltimore, and Gordon — who has already worked up a good sweat — is almost in a robotic trance now, ripping line drive after line drive in the indoor batting cages at Kauffman Stadium. In many ways, this is Gordon’s inner sanctum. When he’s here, he can’t hear the whispers about his future. He can’t hear the scouts who question his approach at the plate or whether he’ll ever ...
- Can Gordon follow Cuddyer's path? Kansas City Star Twins outfielder Michael Cuddyer was the ninth overall pick in the 1997 draft but didn’t live up to expectations until he was 27 and hit .284 with 24 homers and 109 RBIs in 2006. Alex Gordon will turn 27 next season. Here’s a comparison of their careers: <span style="line-height:0"><br clear="all" /></span><table border="0" class="story-table">
- Royals' victory is another blast as Butler homers late Kansas City Star Yes, it’s just two games. And yes, they’re still way below .500. But even a team like the Royals, who were clearly sellers during Saturday’s non-waiver trading deadline, can get used to this dramatic victory stuff.
- Royals send Ankiel, Farnsworth to Atlanta for three players Kansas City Star Even after sending veterans Rick Ankiel and Kyle Farnsworth to Atlanta in a five-player trade that just beat Saturday’s non-waiver trading deadline, the Royals might not be done dealing. General manager Dayton Moore reiterated plans to recall first baseman Kila Ka’aihue in the near future — a move that only seems likely if the Royals find a new home for designated hitter/outfielder José Guillen.

- Yost says he likes what Royals are building after accepting contract extension Kansas City Star Manager Ned Yost leaves little question that he’s exactly where he wants to be after agreeing to terms Saturday with the Royals on a two-year contract extension through the 2012 season. Just sit back and let him gush.
