This isn’t a ballpark... it’s a Barbie dream house. It’s 200 ft to left.

If Soler can stay healthy until the trade deadline, I'd take whatever the Royals could get for him. He's been unable to play a complete season in the Majors due to injuries and his ineptitude in the outfield is scary. After trading him, my new DH would be Alex Gordon. Moving Alex to DH, allows the Royals to move Whit to LF. Which opens up a spot for Lopez at 2nd. And, if the the Royals / Gordon can come to a team friendly, short term contract extension with the understanding that he is primarily their DH, I'm good with that.

If Soler could stay healthy, I'd agree. After the trade deadline, I expect Hamilton to be gone and Starling playing CF. Khalil Lee (AA) or Elier Hernandez(AAA) can play RF. Gordon isn't getting any younger. DH would preserve his old body.

Hamilton isn’t cheap by royals’ standards....unless we can trade him...which I doubt... do you think we drop him? It was a stupid signing from the jump.

Move Gordon to DH?
Considering he’s remained an above-average LF who adds value with his glove, it would whack about half of his value to the team. If you’re moving Soler to a full-time DH slot and promoting Lopez, Merrifield can just go to RF (and you can still kind of rotate guys through DH for a 1/2 day break, using Merrifield to spell them in the field). Lopez is going to be one of those guys the prospect lists just missed, I think. He’s not flashy or toolsy, but the skills are just so good.

He’s making $5 mil. this year, which is cheap by MLB standards, with a mutual option for next year. If they can trade him for something at the deadline, they probably will. If not, they’ll probably just decline his option after the season. Especially considering we may see Bubba later this year in the OF, Whit may be in RF much more regularly once Lopez comes up and Lee could arrive sometime next year. That doesn’t really leave any room for Hamilton next year.

Are they prepping Zimmer to be a starter? He started Sundays game and pitched two scoreless innings. Our replacement for Owings could be in Omaha, Erick Mejia. Seems to be able to play anywhere and is currently batting .309/.414/.415 |
