He's Ben Zobrist Lite. He's a pretty valuable player to have. |

That had real value going into 2016. We spent that on Ian Kennedy too. If our core was leaving after 2015 we probably don't sign Alex or Ian. |

Soler’s bat looks very quick and powerful through the zone. His misses are much better than last year when I saw him.

Kennedy is a very likable dude; I really hope the struggles were injury related last year. He mention the lower spin rate, would the new baseball cause that? Were the seams flattened?

Hamstring definitely affected his change up. The crappy juiced balls only inflated his issues. Not sure about the seems being flattened, but I will never forget Kenly Jansen constantly throwing balls away because he didn't like the feel of them during the world series. He was basically exclaiming his disdain for the 2017 game ball as he snarled at ball after ball that he threw back out of play. I'm sure many pitchers felt that way all year.

Bringing his Spring Training totals to:
4 for 46 (.087 BA), 0 HR's, 1 extra base hit, 3 RBI's, .189 OBP, and a mind boggling .297 OPS. I understand it's just Spring Training. I understand players at this point in March are often times tweaking their swings and trying out new approaches. With that being said, there's precious little evidence to support the notion that Alex will start magically hitting come April. Or May. Or June. Or September. Pull a Gil Meche, Alex. Retire and save your legacy while enjoy the tens of millions you've rightfully earned. Give it 5 years and the Front Office will give you a cushy ambassador gig next to Mike Sweeney. Right after your Royals Hall of Fame induction. |

Alex hasn't been a decent hitter since 2015.
This isn't a small sample size. It's a large sample size. He sucks. Stick a fork in him. |
