Royals Notes

Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star reported that Bale and Tomko are likely going to be tabbed as the fourth and fifth starters. No big surprise there, Bale has been good and Tomko has a guaranteed contract.

Dutton also said that the Dodgers are still scouting German as a candidate to fill their utility role.

The Nationals front office has been rumored to have some interest in Angel Berroa. Not sure what they are thinking over there but getting rid of Berroa and his $4.75 million contract would be good news for the Royals.

Luke Hudson experienced yet another set-back this weak in his recovery from shoulder surgery. I hope the guy all the best and hope he can come back, I was really surprised with his stuff in '06.
