So, I didn't see a thread started, and all the others are pretty maxed out to the point where a fresh thread would be needed soon either way.

Time to share the run up to ST & and another memorable year in the making!

So his surplus value isn't all that high. He has to be dealt to a team thinking they are playoff caliber right now and there aren't many lackin closers. Prob only Det & Toronto, maybe Boston.....but why would we want to help either?

That projection really doesn't make much sense (particularly predicting that a guy who has average 13K/9 for 4 seasons is going to drop 1.5 k/9 all of a sudden). But Steamer usually leaves me scratching my head.

It would have to be a team that's chasing a closer to make the deal work, for sure. And the return would have to be high and help this year for it to make sense from KC's side.

In an environment where inferior relievers like Andrew Miller and David Robertson are getting 4 years and around $40 million, Holland still has trade value.

I don't know what they have, now ... but when I was in Vegas I was up about $900 after the 1st day so I was making all sorts of futures bets ... at the Flamingo sports book the Royals were the 2nd favorites in the AL at 5:1 behind Detroit who was at 4:1.

The Royals were 12:1 to win the World Series.

I didn't make any Royals bets because I thought these numbers were awful. Really? 5:1 for the Royals to make the WS again? Riiight.

So I bet the Cubs at 28:1 thinking they'd sign Lester and maybe Shields, plus, you know, Back to the Future 2.

We are right around sixth favorites to win the AL.

Heyman just said on MLB Network that the Mariners, Royals and Indians are the three teams showing some serious interest in Alex Rios.

Hootie · 12-10-2014, 10:45 AM

and you don't believe me? LOL.

Why the **** would I make that up? What did I have to gain by saying the Royals were the 2nd biggest favorites to win the AL when I was in Vegas?

You truly are a ****head.

well of course the odds have changed since November 9th. I got the Chiefs at 40:1 to win the Super Bowl, before I left (after they beat Buffalo), they had dropped to 22:1. After the beat Seattle, they were all the way up to 13:1.

The entire reason I looked at baseball was because I was going to bet on the Royals and when I saw their odds I laughed and said **** that.

Hootie · 12-10-2014, 10:55 AM

and after 3 straight losses (lol), the Chiefs are now 250:1 hahaha

You're all going to bow down to him when the Braves send us Upton for Colon.

Cubs will be better, for sure. But they're the Cubs. Some sort of dark wizardry will bring them down.

Heh. Make an offer?

The Rays have received some trade inquiries about Wil Myers, but do not seem apt to deal him, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times writes. “The guy we saw last year was injured and didn’t really have a chance to demonstrate what he has,” says Rays executive Matt Silverman. “We look at him as a rookie of the year who really missed most of the season and expect him to be back in that form as a formidable bat in the middle of the lineup who also plays a pretty good outfield.” The Rays are widely expected to deal an outfielder this offseason, but that will likely be David DeJesus or Matt Joyce; as Topkin notes, trading the 2013 ROY-winning Myers after a down season would be selling low.
