I guess that would've been fine. Although in his BEST year in KC, he was at a .649 OPS, and went down from there. In 2014, Giavatella had great stats in Omaha, but did squat in the majors. When we let him go, Colon was 2 years younger, had more years of team control, and had performed better at the plate in his limited at bats. It made sense in 2015, given Infante's remaining contract AND how much upside we had with Colon, to let Johnny go on and play somewhere else, but you could argue we should've kept him. Of course, you didn't argue that we should've kept Johnny G, you argued that Colon is not a major league player and only is up because of draft slot.

I like Colon as a person, but I get frustrated watching him play. He hits so many damn ground outs and it depresses me.

if you want to talk about depressing thoughts, talk about our current farm system.

that's why I don't want to use Wade's trade value as a salary dump

Dozier will be up in September, so that's exciting.
Not currently on the 40 man roster, so I wouldn't count that as a given. They may want to minimize his service time.

Does Bubba come up on the 40 man roster?  :surprised:
Yes, Bubba is currently on the 40 man roster

WC, if you were GM, how would you have handled Christian Colon differently? Help me understand
I would have kept giavotella.  :love:

Seems pretty short sighted considering Colon is directly responsible for some of the greatest Royal moments ever.

we need to suck complete crap for like 5 years in a row and then go to two straight world series again. that's the plan. It's not all fun and games. it actually sucks a lot and some of you guys won't live to see the next good times. that's just the breaks.

what is the early 90's juco gold mine that LHC Bill Snyder used to his advantage in baseball? Maybe its Canada.

I may not be the smartest guy out there but what I do know is that the answer is never Canada.

You can't disagree with cf3 on something. He just won't allow it.  :curse:

will you stop saying stuff like this? when you have a stupid opinion people are going to disagree with you

you can't disagree with WackyCat08, he just won't allow it.

I just got bummed out thinking about how this is the last weekend the Royals will be nationally relevant during the 2016 baseball season unless we're playing spoiler
What an awful thought.  I am glad I hadn't thought about it earlier, and it will be on my mind if I watch this weekend at all.  I am just glad I finally saw a win in person.

You just need to go more. I've seen 5 wins this year.  :gocho:

I'm going to remember Lucas Hochevar fondly.  I hope he is able to come back from his injury and play a few more years for someone.
