The Royals made a minor trade with the Chicago Cubs picking up Ryan Freel.
Well lets hope that this move leads to another. Hard to imagine this having any real impact in and of itself. Freel had a nice 3 year run from 04-06 with the Reds. He hit in the .270's range with OBP's about 100 points higher and stole over 30 bases a season as well. Of course those were his prime years age wise. I am not sure what he brings at this point in his career. Injuries seem to have slowed him as his SB success rate is not what it once was along with declining batting average and OBP. He does not appear to be a plus fielding any position now. Most of his time has been spent in the OF.
