oh hur dur dur I'm mocat I had a nice stroll around downtown and drank a beer hur dur dur then I watched the sunset to a perfect day herp de derp

Well, sans kids is kind of a big deal. He enjoyed his situation, yours was about 100% more difficult. You still had a heck of a postseason run Cf3 and IMO you are the top Roys fan on this blog.

hot damn, the omar infante contract really stinks

Almost have to gamble on his offense rebounding to pre 2014 levels and count on his solid defense if we don't want to eat $15 million

Hopefully his elbow surgery goes well.

mocat sounds like a name dropper and user of "to die for . . ." often.   Just a hunch

The Guts decision is absolutely correct and I will miss him. I will probably even miss my man Alex (R) a little bit.

If Ned frees Dyson / Orlando, then I will only miss Rios a teeny tiny bit

How much do you guys think Gordon will end up costing? 4 years, $80 million?

After Gordon declines his $12.5M player option, the Royals will extend Gordon a qualifying offer ($15.8M). Will he accept it?
No: 100%.

Upton seems like a much better value than Gordon.

Upton is a cancer. The anti-Gomes

Guthrie is only two spots ahead of Blanton on that thing.

The Guts and Rios buyouts save us $17.8M next year. There's no way that either of them could play to the value of their salaries in 2016.

I hope we give Guts a cushy front office job when he retires.

Rios had some huge hits in the postseason and I wish him well in his future endeavors.

all the arbitration guys will get way more than 17.8 in increases combined

Need to hire Gomes and Guts as celebration consultants. Does MLB limit coaches in the dugout?

I had no clue how many people hate Kacie Mcdonnell. Like, all my coworkers hate her, because apparently she blocks people easily on twitter or something and Ms. Wacky doesn't think she's hott. I mean, I know it's #science and stuff, but some females are cray cray!

I just sat next to a couple of late 20'ish fashionista's from the NYC visiting an undisclosed midwest city so they could check on the status of their high end shoe lines latest releases as they were displayed in a too cool for schooler hipster shoe store . . . they said "to die for" about every other sentence. I guess it's the KC hipsters who are . . . behind the times.

[mocat]

yeah well i guess so dax! i did not drop a single name in my post and i never say "to die for" but maybe i will in the future!

[mocat]

do you think the royals will go after Gallardo? or is he too ugly?
