Cuthbert's power should also get better, he was just 23 last year.

Like a case of the clap, Colby Rasmus to the Royals rumors have returned:

Somebody said we should have signed Rasmus two years ago. I wonder who that was.

that is not really a rumor, it's a blogger suggesting that we do that... Look, for a song...sure...he is a good bounce back candidate. But I think the money is better used for the bullpen or rotation.

Cuthbert's .731 OPS would have been the 11th-best in the AL last year among 2B with at least 300 ABs. It would be a major improvement from what KC had last year, but he would need to step it up to be a plus bat at 2B.
Cuthbert at 2B could be ugly. Would guess he needs to play deep to improve his range and even then won't be incredibly rangy. His arm is big enough for that to work, assuming he can get to 2B for the turn. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jarrod Dyson > Rasmus or Carter
I really really would HATE to roll with Mondesi next year, but I cannot fathom how in the hell Cuthbert could play 2B. He is super slow, and below avg defensively at 3B (albeit not by much) so I don't know how he would play 2B. But, 2B is certainly the biggest hole on the team, so if he can do it. That would be fantastic. And, I'm going to shoot someone if we keep talking about the need to pay some fat guy 15M a year to play DH when we have great internal options. Focus on 2B, OF, hell I'd rather even look for a SS of the future rather than pay some fat guy to play DH when we have Cuthbert/Dozier/Salvy/Hosmer to fill it.

What if it's an older guy in great shape like Carlos Beltran or Matt Holliday? Or a guy like Steve Pearce who can play a bunch of positions? I don't think they're going to go that high on salary. But $10 million in this market would but a lot of production, especially if it's a guy like one of those two who can play a position or two. They're a guy short in the middle of the order without another signing, even if Moustakas comes back strong. Cuthbert is a .750 OPS guy. That's below average at DH. Dozier is an unknown. Hosmer is going to get, at most, 10 games at DH and probably not even that many. Perez might get 20. Maybe. Gordon might get 20 and Cain 25 in a rotation situation. The offense needs a boost to make them a true threat to win the division/make the playoffs/etc. just rotating guys through seems unlikely to get it done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What kind of OPS do you expect out of Cuthbert when he is 28?
