Brooks Pounders is a fatass, I'm not sure how he found his way onto this royals team.

97 mph fastball

How fast does Almonte throw his fastball?

Relying on guys like Young to be good again is the reality of trading young arms for Johnny and Zobrist.

It was worth it.

I'm still hopeful we can stay in the wildcard mix.
I agree with all three statements.

Lots of teams do something similar to what we did and don't win the Series. Some don't even make the playoffs.

We won the whole damn thing. I'll take it and remember it forever.

The last three seasons have been memorable to me, because I rediscovered my love for the game. I had drifted after the last strike. So I am glad I got back to it the year before they went to the WS, and then to win it last year...memorable is correct.

Unpopular Opinion: Royals need to rebuild. Wade absolutely needs to be traded less we get stuck with another broken closer with nothing in return. Look into returns for Hos, Cain, Hoch, Volquez, Esky. It would be a PR hit but would speed up the inevitable rebuild.

yeah. see how things go for a few weeks after the allstar game first and then your suggestion if things don't go well.

With Dozier crushing it down in AAA, we're pretty stacked at 3B. There's one position we can ship off on.

I dunno. Cuthbert is about a replacement level player. Dozier has done well but had struggled in the years leading up to this. Moose looked great in the early stages of this year, but remember he has put together exactly one full season of above average hitting in his career.

True. I'm just trying to look at a position we have some depth at. Not much else out there.

I know :(

Maybe some team will give us something for Mondesi? Escobar probably has negative trade value. It's really just relievers that have much value outside of our stars

I'm not there yet. Making the playoffs is still within reason that becoming sellers right now isn't something I can get on board with.

we have no one worth trading for

ChiComCat · « **Reply #64266 on:** July 06, 2016, 11:15:45 AM »

I don't see us rebuilding now when we have Gordon/Salvy/Kennedy/Soria/Ventura/Infante on the books in 2018 for a combined $62 million. Paying 40ish percent of our salary for what is likely one quality player won't cut it in a small market. Our window is this year and next.

We need to lock duffy into a 5 year deal like yesterday

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #64268 on:** July 06, 2016, 11:21:25 AM »

If we're sellers, Morales might be able to get us some decent prospects.

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #64269 on:** July 06, 2016, 11:25:13 AM »

we're buyers. we're buying starting pitching

Hey farva, what's that restaurant you like with all the royals fans from the losery era?

My dumbass thought medlen could come back in the back half

We're not buyers or sellers, we're stay right where we're at'rs. We have the talent to make the playoffs but Alex has to stop sucking
