Yeah Moose was always expected to be a guy who was just a pure power 3B. He could just as easily blame Bruce Rondon for busting his knee and sapping his power last year. Either way, pure power guys aren't getting big contracts like they used to. Look at how last year Chris Carter and Mark Trumbo led each league in homers and neither one of them got a huge deal. Trumbo at least got something... Carter got jack squat in free agency. I think we all thought Moose would do better because of the position he plays, but the fact he posted a negative defensive WAR last year is probably hurting him.

That's the point. Worst case scenario, he ends up with the Royals on that deal.

Salvy and Gordon don't watch porn. Moose watches porn with chicks slapping gyros all over their tits. Thought you knew this.

He's just kind of got a weird resume. Decent 3B, but slow as shit. Had the freak injury in 2016, but some nagging ones in 2017. Had a decent 2012, regressed in 2013, sent to minors in 2014, came back for decent postseason. Good 2015, hurt in 2016, had career year in 2017 where he had some nagging injuries. If think some see him as a 5-yr all-star for a WS winner, and he's not that. |

You are wrong on both accounts. Salvy was already signed to a club friendly, long-term deal. Overpaying and gambling on an extra 2 years for a catcher of his size and injury history is not smart. Shelling out an extra 36 million dollars for a catcher that will be 31 at the end of the contract is not smart. And if Gordon was such a good deal at that price at the time... Why was no other team willing to shell out that kind of money for him? You should call Dayton and see if he needs an assistant.

You're the one who is wrong. Gordon had a few offers that would have paid him more. While there were some who doubted Gordon would play up to the deal in Year 4 and maybe even Year 3, NO ONE was seeing the immediate drop-off/cratering. The deal's consensus view was as a very fair/good deal for KC that included a significant discount and kept the Window for contention open in 16 and 17. But it wouldn't be a week on here without someone applying hindsight to claim the Royals got ripped off and everyone knew it when the Gordon deal was signed. As for Perez, it's true the Royals didn't have to tear up his deal and give him more money or extend him two more years. It's also true that he was incredibly underpaid, that the original deal was starting to cause some bad feelings, and that the Royals bought themselves a lot of useable capital with players by taking care of Perez and ensured their clubhouse leader would be the affable, personable, positive influence they needed him to be. The deal also is still incredibly friendly - $10 million/year. Yeah, that's much more than the original contract, but there are intangible benefits purchased by that deal also.

The revisionist history in this thread about the Gordo and Young signings has been pretty amazing.
At the time, the consensus was that the Royals got fair deals on both. |

I always totally blamed Gordon for Moose's injury. The outfielder has the play right in front of him, and he can see the infielder. He should have called him off at the top of his lungs. That's Baseball 101. |
