Those million dollar buyouts really annoy me for some reason.

That same day, I read the following article from Eric Hosmer, which came out in the morning, before that amazing game 4 of the 2015 ALDS, believe it or not!
http://www.theplayerstribune.com/eri...s-city-royals/ I remember thinking what a gutsy and probably wrongheaded thing to write, given the possibility of losing and looking silly. Eric Hosmer has become and will likely remain one of my all-time favorite players, mostly because he conducts himself like a champion, a true leader on and off the field.

In all seriousness, I wonder what Cuthbert might actually cost, especially if he doesn't make a solid conversion to 2b.
I would say the Royals have no interest in moving him this year because they need Moustakas insurance. But if they get Moustakas re-signed or extended, surely he'd be made available. The Cards still have precisely jack shit long-term at 3b but a wealth of pitching prospects. We have Luke Weaver at roughly the same age and service time as Cuthbert who projects as a nice long-term 3 or 4 in the rotation. He got whacked around a bit during his call-up last year but it was really an issues of occasionally just being too hittable; a command vs. control thing. Strikeout and walk numbers were actually pretty good (walks a little high but nothing too far out of range and also completely out of character). He just had a tendency to give into hitters and groove one if he got behind; not shocking for a young pitcher really. And frankly, giving up 11 ER in your last 2.2 innings is going to make anyone's line look worse than he actually performed, especially over a small sample size. Weaver for Cuthbert looks like a nice 'baseball trade' if Moustakas were extended. The Cards get their long-term 3b option and the Royals would get a middle of the rotation starter with some upside. The Royals would gain a year of age and a year of team control (perhaps even 2 if the Cards keep Weaver down more this year as I expect), but that's not a deal-breaker. I still think there's a trade to be made between these two squads.

That's a deal that has some promise. Most of the Cardinals fans i interact with would probably say they'd rather have Johnny Peralta straight up than Cuthbert, and would never consider moving Weaver. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But TINSTAAPP is largely the belief that there's so many steps/hurdles to clear along the way that until a guy gets to the big leagues without his arm having torn clear from his body, you can't count on him. Weaver made it to the big leagues seemingly intact and showing the same ability to get swings and misses. That's that big final step to establishing yourself less as a prospect and more as a young major leaguer.
