Duncan, can we officially call Merrifield the real deal yet? Or if not - is it 90% likely he's the real deal?

His BABIP is .412, with 2 walks and 19 K's. Jury is still out. Pitchers have been challenging him to start his career and he's making hard contact. Once they adjust, hopefully he's patient and brings that BB/K ratio back in line.

Staumont is kind of a modern day Nolan Ryan. He's basically unhittable but also has awful control. If he finds a way to get to league average command without losing anything, he's Stephen Strasburg (yes, I realize that sounds ridiculous, but his stuff is FILTHY). Quote:
Still need to see how he handles it when pitchers stop filling up the strike zone against him. But I love the way he handles the bat, his swing in general, and the contact skills. Impressive things, all. Quote:
The White Sox gave up nothing and only had to take on 1/2 the salary he was owed. Even pitching at the Cell, that's a good deal unless he has gone complete 2015 Jeremy Guthrie. It's possible he has. I wasn't mad KC didn't trade for him... Just more of the mindset that KC should start trying to trade with Preller. But perhaps the word was out on him in the scouting community or something.

I wasn't mad either, I just did not want him in KC because his fastball has been declining and his FIP has gone up since he left KC. 3.47 and 3.59 in his 2 years in KC, which is passable. Since he left, it was 4.45 and 4.41. That's a bad sign.

Ned was asked about using Hererra-Davis 3 straight games and said "Well yeah, these are huge games. 2 game swing, if we lose we are down 4 we win down 2."
He's right but the obv question is just hanging out there |

Loge boxes or field reserve if you want to stay out of the sun. Fountain seats if you want to be in the OF. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had free all inclusive seats for a Cardinals game a couple weeks of go. It's going to be hard to go back to normal seats after that. All you can eat and drink was very nice.

yeah, my wife gave me Crown Seats for a game last month. We literally sat first row behind the Royals as they were on deck. I could smell their cologne.
