What the **** does that have to do with anything? I'm honestly not convinced Bubba can even see. It's hard for premier athlete to hit .180 and strike out 10 times for every walk in AAA. Michael Jordan was a better player in his only season in AA than Bubba Starling was last season and Michael had to do it in the Southern League. Bubba got to take aim at the Texas League and still couldn't figure it out. Bubba wouldn't be a good hitter for a pitcher at this point. Damn shame because the tools are off the charts.

*** Official 2017 Royals Offseason Repository

Truth is, every team has a large pool of tools you players who never developed the skills as a hitter needed to succeed at the major league level. It's not a Royals thing, necessarily. It's a "baseball is hard" thing. And Soler doesn't really have much developing left to do. He's 24/25. He's already at MLB. Really hard to adjust approaches significantly at that age. He can make some gains, but the big questions for him are going Robb the ability to stay healthy and the ability to refine his pitch selection. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dorsey took 1 year Yes, Baseball is different. Longer player development and no salary cap. Still ... people might be worried that it's going to be another 6 years of crap.

This trade seems like a move to make if you're building for 2018 and beyond. If that's the strategy, then maybe it's a good one.
But it doesn't seem to improve us for 2017. |

If the Royals are going to have a payroll in the 100 million range and the trades that are made bring back solid parts and they can hit on some picks they won't go back to being awful.
It'd probably be smart to see what Cain's value is seeing as he can't get through a season without being injured. |
