The Royals

[420seriouscat69]

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've never heard anyone have an opinion on her

not being hot and blocking people on twitter? my lord, get the rope.

I know, right?! Honestly, MS. wacky doesn't even think Hosmer is hot (She's crazy!), so it's not like she's staking claim to him, but I think these other ladies are. I think about 97% of the population would like to leave whatever scrub they're with, so they can get a piece of the Hos! 

[mocat]

i would like Wei-Yin Chen

[sonofdaxjones]

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!

I know . . . glad you had fun.

[Cartierfor3]

JK mocat. You know you're my boo

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

i would like Wei-Yin Chen

me too!

my FA SP acquisitions:

1. Jordan Zimmermann
2. Wei-Yin Chen
3. Mike Leake
4. Ian Kennedy

[Mrs. Gooch]

Should have listened to pete

Or Mrs gooch

  Let me know if you guys need any more parenting advice.

[Rage Against the McKee]

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

I think they will go after a pitcher in his price range, anyway. Maybe Mike Leake.

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

Yup. The arbitration list is a mile long:
-Holland (will be interesting given his injury)
-Cain
-Moose
-Duffy
-Collins (same as Holland)
-Dyson
-Butera

We also will need to pick up options for Davis (8M) and Esky (5.25).

we don't need tim collins or old greg holland.

but hot damn that is a lot of people who are getting mega huge raises

[mocat]

JK mocat. You know you're my boo

i think dax was JK'ing when he said he was glad i had fun 

[8manpick]

We non-tendered Holland, he won't get arbitration. We'll probably sign him to a Medlen type contract

[8manpick]

Dyson and Butera won't be getting huge raises

[Asteriskhead]

doubt it.

[mocat]

i would like Chen over Leake because Chen is just better and more adorable and knows how to pitch in the AL East. imagine him in kauffman, wow

[mocat]

Leake is two years younger, but he pitches in the NL. so i have no idea if he can pitch in real life baseball

[AppleJack]

Give me Leake but he's going back to SF.

Iwakuma would be my target.

Good call. I had missed that.

[joda]

Holland, Collins, and Coleman should all be non-tendered. There rest of those seem pretty acceptable and should easily fit into the budget.

[Mrs. Gooch]

OK, let's stop posting about superficial things like how hot the players are and get back to talking about how many millions of dollars they are going to make next year.

Done.

I hope we keep Gordo and Zobrist.
