Now go get either Gordon or Bruce and I think we're set.

Or Granderson...wonder if they have ammo to get a hitter

You crack me up, man.

Look, Maurer can be a nice player, but the guy is playing in the absolute best hitters environment in MLB and relatively poorly. His pitch value on his sinker has been negative every season of his career.

The Royals won this trade, but c'mon - don't overplay your hand here. Maurer is a nice setup man and can credibly give you guys what you got from Hochevar last year, but you make it sound like he's Wade Davis. He ain't.

No where is he near the level of Wade Davis. Pretty much no one is near the level of Davis

Are we even linked to Granderson? Moss is improving

Stuff says Cahill will be a #5 guy in the rotation, but I gotta think with that ERA as low as it is that he'll turn into our 4 guy, right? Certainly a better option for the playoffs than Hammel, I would imagine.

Also, Kennedy plus these three guys... the Padresification of the Royals continues...

This trade patches up two pretty big needs, in my opinion.

But the thing that is most important to our continued success is the improvement of Alex Gordon and Brandon Moss. If those guys are even respectable offensively, it deepens our lineup significantly.

So is the new Royals closing trio SMH?? Soria, Maurer, Herrera

Matt Strahm went from the penthouse to the outhouse this year.....

I love every single aspect of this trade on both sides.

Jerok 07-24-2017 05:03 PM

We are in an offensive pickle with moss heating up right at the trade deadline and gordons offense slightly improving. Would love to get a bat but i think we stay where we are at bank on moss and gordon staying decent.

Rex just said Cahill could be a long bullpen guy ROFL

GMDM just looked at y'all and said "to the mother****in ship"

It's penbrook. Best bet is just keep scrolling.

When did I ever compare Maurer to Davis?? Keep putting words in my mouth though if it makes you feel better about yourself
