I'd rather bring back fat Moose for 3 years than giving Hosmmer that contract

I don't have a problem with it. You aren't paying shit for Whit, Mondesi, and Cuthbert on the infield. 20 million in 3-4 years won't get you Jack Shit.

@Ken_Rosenthal: Report from @BNightengale, quoting persons close to Eric Hosmer, says #Royals have offered him 7 years, $147M while #Padres have offered 7 years, $140M. Whether Hosmer and Scott Boras jump at either number remains to be seen. Their goal likely is eight years and up; Hosmer is 28.

@sdutdennislin: The Padres, as previously reported, have offered Eric Hosmer seven years, but I hear their bid is actually lower than $140 million.

Hard to see what's a faceplant about 'move Carpenter to the Astros for one of their high-end surplus prospects...'

2. I just found our conversation. Are you sure it went the way you described? 3. You and I were discussing baseball. Always happy to do so. But you suddenly took it personal, into name calling. Don't ever do that again. Kapiche? |

As for name-calling, I assume this is when I said you were being disingenuous because you...were? Exactly like you did here with your Harper conversation. You just flat out cherry pick and make up bullshit arguments then get indignant about getting called out for it. You knew that Miggy, Stanton and Trout were on that list of comparables through 24 and intentionally omitted it. You knew Juan Gone was on there and that he was a damn monster during the years in question (and as a Royals fan know all to well what happened when he got off the juice). You knew all these things but chose to sit on them in the hopes nobody would bother looking it up and you'd somehow make a stronger point. That is an absolute bullshit way to go about 'discussing baseball' and if that's how you want to continue to do it, I'll continue to point it out.

To be fair everyone thought that trade was stupid and now they are gonna have to give him a mega deal and he doesn't even have 10 career starts.

Nothing I find more hilarious than fans of other teams who don't watch Eric Hosmer or Mike Moustakas play explain to Royals fans why Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas aren't good. Almost as hilarious as 'advanced metrics' that tell us Hosmer is a shitty defensive 1st baseman. Yeah, ok.

No one thought giving up a high 2nd round pick for a QB that had played 3 games and was an impeding free agent was smart. It was basically giving up a draft pick to hand out a megadeal to an unproven player.
