But the thing is, very few of these kids make an immediate impact. There are nearly always growing pains, and before you know it, that prospect is back on the wire while we transfer our attention and adulation to the next great prospect.

Surprise, surprise. The Royals are scuffling through another tough season, and a recent five-game losing streak combined with a surge by the White Sox has left Kansas City in fourth place in the AL Central, looking way up at the top three. If not for Cleveland’s complete ineptitude and KC winning three of its past four, the Royals could easily be sitting in the division cellar once again. But hey, let’s not sell them short…there’s still plenty of time left for the Royals to sink below the Indians considering their current four-game bulge over the Tribe is hardly insurmountable.

Yes, the same player that the Mariners didn’t offer more than a one year deal to last fall is now back in the fold. What’s up in Seattle? The Mariners had Branyan, let him go to the Tribe in the offseason and have now got him back when they’re 14 games out? Either $5 million doesn’t buy a whole lot at first base or the Mariners have a few more problems than I have the time to discuss right now.

My thoughts on this deal are very simple and straightforward. Find your way to the accept button and click it right smartly. The key for me is in the hitting department. Rolen has certainly been huge, but are his numbers sustainable over the second half? I think we’ll see some regression while at the same time Longoria will pick up the pace. Jimenez has been incredible so far, but if you take a quick look at Weaver’s numbers they are certainly nothing to sneeze at and I believe the odds are good that moving forward there will be very little to pick and choose between the two.

Having said that, after a simply pathetic May, Rodriguez looked to be smarting up with quality outings in his first two June starts. Then, he tossed another pair of serious stinkers before his solid start Thursday. The fact that it came against an offense like San Francisco’s, that’s been middling at best, doesn’t exactly swell me with confidence that Rodriguez is out of the woods. I mean, come on. His walks are way up, his strikeouts are way down and his hit rate has soared. There’s just not much to hang your hat on as far as being a hopeful Rodriguez owner goes. The fact that he’s generally been a worse second half pitcher paints an even grimmer picture.
