I'd be happy to lock up Zobrist for 1 year/11 million.

Yeah, that would be great if he will take a 1 year deal.

I think zobrist should maybe try different facial hair.

zobzie is dangerously close to being the clean cut white guy

I want them to invest this money into some short term bonds or stocks so that they can lock up Hos, Cain, and Duff after next season. They are going to need a lot of cash for all the arbitration eligible studs.

who are we for sure losing after this year? not including cueto & zober

We'd better be losing Rios.

Hopefully hos dating local bombshell news girl will work in our favor come contract time. Maybe.

We might try trading Infante if anyone will take him. Lots of rumblings that Mondesi might be called up next year.

We have team options for Esky (5.25M) and Wade (8M) that we should pick up. We have a 10M team option for Guts with a 3.2M buyout.

Rios has a mutual option for 12.5M that I hope we don't stay with.

Gordon has a 12.5M player option that he won't agree to.

The true FA's are Zobz, Cueto, F Morales, Young, and Madson.

Some people were telling me Duffy isn't good looking. But I think he's good looking and I'm always right about these things.

Cain, Moose, Duffy, Collins, Dyson, Holland, and Butera are all arbitration eligible this winter.

That group along with Hos and Herrera are AE after next season.

The arbitration estimates on baseball-reference.com for each of the next 2 seasons are a total of 27.5M per year.

I think we can buy him out for like 1.5M. If that's the case DM should definitely do that.

mocat · « **Reply #44264 on:** August 19, 2015, 12:18:54 PM »

So we are going to be awesome next year too

When is the TV deal up for negotiation? 2019? I would think we could back load some long term deals with the younger guys and lock them up and once the new TV payday comes it should more than cover them if we maintain success.

Guts is getting a buy out for sure.

i doubt if he's any stupider than other players, so he probably knows his age and stats. even if he doesn't, he probably employs an agent that does.

mocat, what are your thoughts on gordon, regarding whiteness and clean cutness?

come to think of it, i don't even know what clean cut means. does it mean clean shaven? short-haired?

He has great eyes and eye structure. I mean lets just establish that as fact and move forward

So which future Royals studs are we calling up in 2 weeks? Ches and Colon for sure. Probably Gore again. Who else?
