Gordon is such a stud. I will be criticized for saying this, but I think Gordon's best two offensive years are in front of him.

Gonna win 'em all!

While I would criticize you, that would mean that you do have an ability to predict the future, and then perhaps his best two years are forthcoming, and therefore that criticism would be unwarranted.

Decent contract resource if you are into that sort of thing.

Ryan Madson is an interesting one.

-free agent
-35 years old
-Boras client
-only made $850k in 2015
-had his best year (ERA) last year
-WS champ (again)

does he want to be here? we probably want him but who knows how much it would take

Madson will be a closer for a mid-level team next year. Have you seen the trash some teams roll out there?

Winters · « **Reply #56605 on:** November 05, 2015, 12:11:38 PM »

Good-bye Madson

KCFDcat · « **Reply #56606 on:** November 05, 2015, 12:24:43 PM »

Yeah do not re-sign Madson.

mocat · « **Reply #56607 on:** November 05, 2015, 12:26:27 PM »

what if he would cost like 1.5m? that would be a no brainer

mocat · « **Reply #56608 on:** November 05, 2015, 12:26:46 PM »

what about chris forever young?

Fangraphs had a decent list

http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/fangraphs-crowd-the-top-82-free-agents/

they have CY at 1 year for about 6 mil.

pissclams · « **Reply #56610 on:** November 05, 2015, 12:46:25 PM »

i would offer chris forever young, $1.275 million for 1 year

Karma and history says, as long as the Royals are good K-State football and football in the region is going to suck.

what about chris forever young?

i think he's still going to be a bargain. maybe 2 yrs, 10 million. i'd even risk going 3 years if you can get a good deal on that 3rd year (3/12ish). to me young is a no brainer and it will really piss me off if he is pitching for a different team next year.
