Meche back on track

81 starts into Meche's 55 million dollar contract he had his best start as a Royal. Last nights 7 inning, 0 runs, 11 strikeout gem produced a game score of  77 (his previous best of  75 was also against the Tribe). In his last five starts he has a 2.22 ERA but due to a pathetic offense and woeful bullpen the Royals are just 1-4 in those starts. The Epic has returned and not a moment too soon.

Here's the updated Jacobs/Balboni tracker:

HR #	Jacobs	Balboni
1	April 13	April16
2	April 15	April 19
3	April 17	April 21
4	April 19	April 22
5	May 5	April 30
6	May 12	May 5
7	May 13	May 15
8	May 15	May 18
9	May 19	June 7
10	June 5	June 7

Seems awful doubtful that Jacobs can do it at this point. In the 13 games between his 9th and 10th home runs he hit .119/.213/.167,  I know the sample size is small (47 PA's) but that is an absolutely dreadful stretch. In case you are wondering Balboni hit numbers 11 and 12 on June 17th.

I don't dwell too much on the draft (and by not too much I really mean not at all) mainly because I don't follow amateur baseball so I really have no opinions on potential draftees. But with that being said I loved the Aaron Crow pick. I know a lot of people had their heart set on Grant Green because of KC's shortstop problems but you don't draft in baseball to fill current needs. I do know that much. You can do that in football and basketball but not in baseball. Crow was the right pick. For more draft analysis check out The Royal Tower's take on day one and Royals Authority take on day two.
