So, Dayton Moore finally pulled the plug on the Dotel trade. I think it's fair to say that Royals fans were hoping for a little more sparkle in this trade. The Royals acquired Kyle Davies from the Braves for Dotel.
Yes, the Royals need starting pitching. But Davies hardly inspires confidence. First, no Royals fans have heard of him, and second, 5.76 ERA this year is hardly exciting.
Could it be that Dayton took this trade as a quid pro quo type of deal? After all, the Braves got next to nothing for Tony Pena, Jr. earlier this season. So, this is the reciprication: the Royals get next to nothing for Dotel.
Or, perhaps Moore knows Davies well and we can expect good things. After all, Brain Bannister didn't look like much last summer.
I also saw that the Royals announced that Soria will become the closer with Dotel gone. I just hope Soria won't end up injured this year. He's been used too much this season, IMHO.
And why can't we win at the Metrodome????
