We have to be creative. He prob will suck but we don't have a DH now anyway. If you wanna find a decent bat to platoon with Salvy taking the 1/4 of LH pitching at bats, we could do worse
I'm so desperate I'd consider giving Big Donkey a call. To see if he wants one more run for glory |

If we're going to spend money, we should get a good player for it. Not just a name.

Howard would have lead the Royals in home runs and RBI's last year.

Sure but we aren't spending $ for a DH I don't think
Roll out the Donkey. In 370 ab he still smacked 20 bombs and 17 doubles. And only 4 gidp. He's the anti Butler |

Howard was 4th in the NL in RBIs and 14th in home runs. It would be a major upgrade for the DH position.
Replacing Butler and Aoki with Howard, you have 13 more home runs and only 14 less RBIs. Find another platoon for Dyson and we would be fine. |

But the question is "Can you get the same, or close to it, production for less money?" Because we're going to need a pitcher. And we'll probably sign a couple of other squad players. Can't spend it all in one place.

Are we moving to this thread, officially?
Re: Howard, I don't care as much about HR and RBI, counting stats that can lose context if you look at them alone. Howard's sub-.400 SLG last year is more concerning to me than anything. Give me the guy who hits .280/.330/.425 with 12 HR over the guy who hits .220/.300/.380 with 25 HR any day of the week. He's a declining three outcomes player who must be very cheap ($5-8 million a year) for it to even be a consideration for KC. I'm not so sure he'd sit against lefties if acquired, though. He's got decent numbers against lefty pitching during his career and actually had a higher OPS against lefties last year.

Perhaps Howard isn't a great option but how is Country Fatboy? I mean, people still consider bringing that guy back and he stinks too

I can't see Philadelphia eating enough cash to make it work for KC, and it flies in the face of what they want to do.

So, this is kind of like the "Royals willing to trade Gordon, Hosmer, or Moose" rumor?

Would like Melky. His last 4 years have been very very good. But if he gets popped again for PEDs...that would not be good.
