The Royals

Traded Crow to the Fish

Definitely OK with this.

Yep, and Flynn might get a shot at the #5 starter in Spring Training if they don't get a FA signed

Woof. Do not want.

Well obviously, just saying that's a nice return for Crow.

We lost Game 7 of the World Series by 1 run w/ a guy left on 3rd base 

Think back to the Oakland game and you will smile again

Also Bill's always been a good guy, no complaining and hit for a high avg. against ML pitching.

[Phil Titola]

Watched road to championship on my DVR finally. It was pretty great.

If we don't sign a good pitcher and a right handed hitter I'm gonna be super angry

We all will be.

[sys]

two pitchers.

[bones129]

two pitchers.

And a RH hitter with power. 

[raquetcat]

Hunter signed with the twins, so that's no longer an option. What other RH right fielders are left? Is melky a realistic option?

[Cartierfor3]

Aoki, Melky, Markakis

Bullet dodged.

[420seriouscat69]

Welcome back, Aoki!

[Rage Against the McKee]

Hopefully we take the $10 million we just saved by not getting Hunter and put it toward Lester.

Jesus christ. Stop it.

Where are you guys seeing Aoki stuff? I see Hoch was signed, not sure how I feel about $5mil/per coming off TJ, but if he can get back to 2013 form it's fine and makes the bullpen damn near unbeatable

Side note: If the Rockies are trying to trade Wilin Rosario I think he could be an interesting DH option. He had a down year so he might come cheaper than he should, but he's a RH power bat who could catch in a pinch.

[Dr Rick Daris]

i think we signed hoch so we can make davis the closer and trade holland for a rf bat.

I think Wilin Rosario is a really good option as a platoon DH which is what they are reportedly interested in

[Cartierfor3]

If we try and make Hoch a starter so help me.....

[Dr Rick Daris]

i'm pretty comfortable in saying that the royals aren't going to sign a DH.

[Rage Against the McKee]

If we try and make Hoch a starter so help me.....

I think they want Hoch to take the 6th inning.

Doubt it. I think RD is right and one of HDH will be gone. Holland brings the most back in a trade. We don't need 4 power right arms in the pen

[mocat]

link?

Yeah, 4 power right arms in the pen sounds pretty nice to me.
