Also will say this... if they're REALLY pinching every penny and need to cut payroll, they wouldn't be spending several million dollars on a position they could fill for a million or less.

Could be the first sign they're not as poor as DM is positing.

If we believe the new Drew is the guy who finally hit last year, then yeah the $$ is worth it. He's got many many years of awful hitting before that tho. If I had to guess, the odds seem strong that he'll revert. We'll see

The Cardinals just signed Brett Cecil for 4 years/$30 million, in case you needed a reminder how expensive pitching is.

Can only be good for Wade Davis' stock.

Man, Jansen and Chapman are probably both getting $20 million AAV.

Full no trade for Cecil. What a joke.

John Sickels' Top 20 Royals prospects for 2017

Quote:
The Royals system has thinned out a lot over the last few years but they do have a World Series championship to show for it. Unfortunately there’s not a lot of immediate impact help on the horizon. With the possible exception of Dozier the bats close to the majors look more like decent role player than future starters; there are some toolsy guys at the lower levels like Lee but the Royals haven’t had much luck turning athletic tool sets like Bubba Starling or Elier Hernandez into actual players. Vallot has a chance to be something like Mike Napoli or Mickey Tettleton.

The pitching side offers Staumont, Strahm, and Skoglund who could help soon and maybe Kyle Zimmer if he can stay away from the doctors. There are several potential fourth starters and relief arms but the failure of heralded arms like Foster Griffin, Ashe Russell, and Nolan Watson to develop has been a major blow.

Butera is still a career .198/.253/.295 hitter. His one and only positive offensive year came last year with very unfavorable peripherals going forward in terms of sustainability. In addition to the fact you don't want to risk Butera and Salvy both getting hurt. IMO, last year will probably be an anamoly from Butera at the plate, but I would love to be wrong.

Really like that deal for Arizona.

Not sure Segura is a great fit in Seattle... that huge ballpark will sap some of his offense/power, and he's not a great defender at SS.

Given that this is the last year that we'll have this core of players, I'm extremely frustrated with the possibility that the Glass' are turning back into misers.

Remains to be seen.

Dayton Moore said the same things this year he has said for each of the past several years, starting in 2013.

Let's get through the Winter Meetings and see some major signings come off the board before we start making judgments about what they're actually doing.

I'm still hopeful they'll end up with a reasonably priced FA to take most of the DH ABs and a few other useful pieces.

Still pining for Matt Holliday (whose market has been surprisingly quiet), Steve Pearce (who has seen some interest), and a few "prove-it" type arms.

It's all right Imma win the Powerball and buy a controlling stake in the ballclub.
