We aren't moving anyone. 2017 is our year. Cleve isn't tendering Napoli or Rajai Davis, who knows what happens to their starters who got hurt, etc etc. they're vulnerable for sure. I'm more worried about Det

I think you're right unless the market for relievers remains crazy. A team like the Nats with a short window may be motivated to pay big now for an established bullpen stud like Davis rather than spend 80 million on chapman or Jensen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

BA just came out with their top 10:
1. Josh Staumont, rhp 2. Matt Strahm, lhp 3. Hunter Dozier, 3b/of 4. Eric Skoglund, lhp 5. A.J. Puckett, rhp 6. Scott Blewett, rhp 7. Chase Vallot, c 8. Ryan O’Hearn, 1b 9. Jorge Bonifacio, of 10. Kyle Zimmer, rhp Interesting that they have the 2 big lefties (Skoglund and Blewett) this high --- feels like their projecting their size and draft pedigree as much as anything. |

Haven't read the full comments yet, but Staumont's upside is definitely the highest out of all Royals prospects. He's got a Verlander-good fastball/curve combo. Control is significantly worse, though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a feeling that if we sign a "real" DH (someone brought in to be a full-time DH) it is going to be someone worse than Kendrys at about the same price as we could have kept him Kendrys for.
More likely it seems is we will downgrade offensively and save some money, and downgrading this offense seems like a bad idea. |

It would have cost KC $17 million to keep Morales this year, on the qualifying offer. That's too rich for an all-bat guy. The extra year is likely what turned KC away from Morales on this deal. They can get similar or even superior hitters for the same type of AAV but fewer years. One year of Beltran at $12 million or one year of Matt Holliday at $10 million is likely to produce similar or better results as Morales, at a lower/similar cost and with less long-term risk. Quote:
This makes a lot more sense. Teams have always been compensated for players leaving as FAs. I imagine it will always exist in some form. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bring Belly back in to DH? I heard he's getting in great shape.
