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!

That's insane.

Thanks for ruining the secondary pitching market for us, Dodgers.

This is interesting. Note the advantage we have over the rest of the AL Central.

Thanks dodgers for pricing out Santana for the Royals. What a stupid contract for mccarthy

Also can't believe Howie Kendrick got Heaney

Sure-Oz · 12-11-2014, 07:21 AM

Royals need to do something

Is this all leading up to the sound of air leaving a balloon, or a big move? It's making me a little crazy. i think all the extra info you can get, today, makes it all worse in a lot of ways.

Haha, "via media reports". Jay Glazer is going to melt down again.

Hopefully we do something today.

One concern I have is more long term. We had what was labeled as the best farm system ever and it really amounted to absolutely nothing. Hosmer and Moustakas are JAG's in my opinion but will still likely price themselves out of our price range when they finally hit free agency in a few years. So what do we have in the system to replace them? The answer is absolutely ****ing nothing.

We have jack shit in the farm system for hitters as far as I can tell, especially for power hitters. I see us having a real problem real soon if something doesn't change.

I honestly don't see us making it as far as we did this season again next season or anywhere close. We got hot at the right time and had a little luck. I don't think we have the pure talent to make that happen again.

Most probably don't agree but I like the Billy Beane approach of going all in and when it doesn't work blowing it up. It's better than just waiting to fade back into obscurity like we're probably going to do.

If the Tigers do not re-sign Scherzer, where does that put their rotation?

Really hoping they don't ...their offense will be really good but starters won't be unless verlander does better and pen blows
