At the risk of getting too far away from the real Royals, I've decided he can try and 'get it right' in Omaha.
To cover at first base, I traded Memphis 1B Jeff Citari for Cecil Cooper.
The Royals will Cooper's third team this month. He was first traded from the Brewers to the Expos on July 3rd for Andre Dawson.
On the year he's hitting .307/.341/.462/.803 - 6 HR's and 34 RBI's. The power seems a tick down for the 35 year old, but his numbers are up there with Brett and McRae.
He has 2 Gold Gloves to his name, went to the World Series in 1982, and apparently hit a game winning triple against me in May.
Cooper is set to be a free agent at the end of the season. He also brings some leadership skills to the clubhouse.

The addition of Cecil Cooper should liven things up a bit. Just the shot in the arm the team needs for the 2nd half!
Great addition.
