Ex-Royals Throughout Baseball: Updated 8/4

Here's another update as to how our former Royals are faring throughout baseball. This list was updated on August 4.

Major League Baseball:
Jeremy Affeldt - Colorado Rockies - 4-2, 2.72 ERA, 43 IP, 51 G (32:22 K:BB ratio and 0 HR allowed this season. A classic case of player underperforming under mismanagement, only to find himself thriving after a change of scenery. I miss this guy and my Jeremy Affeldt jersey - which has now been reincarnated into a Gil Meche jersey)http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=346793

Gabor "Paul" Bako - Baltimore Orioles - .220 BA, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 123 AB's (2006 Royals Part Deux...except how he's hitting a whopping .220 and has managed to clear the outfield wall once. Man, maybe I could be a backup catcher, too. Hey, I'd do it for a guaranteed $500K).
http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=132720

Miguel Batista - Seattle Mariners - 11-7, 4.23 ERA, 127.2 IP, 21 GS (51:86 K:BB and only 13 HR allowed....really starting to take off. Man, we might be pushing .500 if we had him....again, maybe we didn't have the $$$)http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=110683

Jose Bautista - Pittsburgh Pirates - .259 BA, 7 HR, 37 RBI, 328 AB's (he'd be great value for a 2B, but he's playing third in Pittsburgh)
http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=430832

Jonah Bayliss - Pittsburgh Pirates - 4-3, 8.36 ERA, 37.2 IP, 39 G with the Pirates (3-2, 6.46 ERA in 15.1 IP, 11 G with AAA Indianapolis)

Ryan Bukvich - Chicago White Sox - 1-0, 3.74 ERA, 21.2 IP, 26 G, 8 K, 12 BB (WHIP over 1.5...he's treading thin ice)http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=424426

Paul Byrd - Cleveland Indians - 9-4, 4.43 ERA, 126 IP, 20 GS (classic ground ball pitcher...160 hits allowed in 126 innings! The 15 walks make up for it, though)
http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=111838

Shawn Camp - Tampa Bay Devil Rays - 0-3, 7.20 ERA, 40 IP, 50 G (that Tampa Bay bullpen....I didn't realize he was already 31)

http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=136734

http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=239795

Jermaine Dye - Chicago White Sox - .240 BA, 22 HR, 57 RBI, 350 AB's (starting to prove the 'haters' wrong...could raise that OBP a little, despite his still low BA)
http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=113679

Tom Gordon - Philadelphia Phillies - 1-1, 3.77 ERA, 14 G, 14.1 IP, 5 SV/8 SVO (Also recently activated from D.L. - was out with shoulder issues)

Ruben Gotay - New York Mets - .352 BA, 4 HR, 20 RBI, 128 AB's (.256-2-13-82 in AAA New Orleans...he was on a tear before the Mets traded for Castillo....now he's glued to the bench.)

J.P. Howell - Tampa Bay Devil Rays - 1-4, 7.36 ERA, 40.1 IP, 8 GS (the peripherals suggest the stuff is there. Looks like he's got Luke Hochevar disease)

http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=121096

Rudy Seanez - Los Angeles Dodgers - 6-2, 4.11 ERA, 50 G, 50.1 IP (it's a shame how one really bad outing can really bring you from dominant to merely above average)
http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=121955

Brian Shouse - Milwaukee Brewers - 1-1, 1.95 ERA, 48 G, 32.1 IP (lefty specialist for Milwaukee...pretty darn good)http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=122195

Kyle Snyder - Boston Red Sox - 2-2, 2.68 ERA, 40.1 IP, 34 G (Good front-of-the-bullpen pitcher. Unfortunately, I had seen enough of him after his age 27 performance in K.C. to really ultimately judge his role)http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=216897
