Player Notes
September 1, 2008
Royals pitcher Jimmy Gobble will be called up from his rehab assignment when the team resumes play on Tuesday, according to the Kansas City Star. Also to be recalled is pitcher John Bale and first baseman Ryan Shealy.

Our View:Gobble has been horrendous in his 24.2 innings of relief, sporting a ghastly 11.31 ERA and 2.27 WHIP. Putting him on a fantasy roster may be just a bit unwise.
August 18, 2008
Jimmy Gobble, who is recovering from a strained lower back, allowed five runs in just 1.2 innings of work Saturday in a rehab start for Triple-A Omaha at Oklahoma, according to the KC Star. He issued four walks, and only threw 28 strikes out of 58 pitches.

Our View:Gobble struggled with 31 earned runs and 22 walks allowed over 24.2 innings with the Royals this season, and is not worth waiting for as a middle reliever.
July 22, 2008
The Royals placed reliever Jimmy Gobble on the disabled list before Tuesday’s game against Detroit because of a strained lower back, reports the Kansas City Star.

Our View:The Royals replaced Gobble by recalling reliever Joel Peralta from Class AAA Omaha.
July 21, 2008
Jimmy Gobble posted one of the ugliest lines of the season on Monday. He served up seven hits and 10 runs over one inning of work against the Tigers. Gobble walked four batters and threw 45 pitches.

Our View:Gobble has been awful since the middle of May, but he took it to another level on Monday night. Would you believe that his last 17 appearances have all come in Royals' losses? Maybe that's not a coincidence.
January 11, 2007
The Royals avoided arbitration with Jimmy Gobble by signing him to a one-year deal Thursday, according to Sports Network. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Gobble had a 5.14 ERA in 60 games (six starts) last year.
