The Royals

[Cartierfor3]

i mean i would love to bring him home, obvi, but, i just can't see him producing at age 37-39 to be worthy of giving up on 27 year old billy butler

Keep Butler.

Gordon
Hosmer
Beltran
Butler
Perez
Moose
Cain
Bonifacio
Escobar

That lineup is a boner factory

Adding an extra year is the only hope a team like us has of getting Carlos guys. You pay extra on the back hoping he's good on the front.

[scottwildcat]

Please come home Carlos.

Wouldn't they need to trade billy to free up the money for Carlos ( ) though?

[AppleJack]

Yeah, you have to keep Butler for this to make sense.

Let's dream big

[Kat Kid]

Get Carlos.  Worry about the rest later.

[SabiNation]

Or we could just pull up our britches and have a major league payroll!  Wouldn't that be fun

I thought this thread was going to be about the song. How disappointing.

I have a hard time seeing May of 2013 happening to that lineup 

[8manpick]

Would free up Yost to pinch run  Dyson for our first baserunner in the 9th when we are down 2 runs

[EMAWmeister]

I'm all for it, but I'm afraid it'd greatly diminish the return we get for Billy

[Kat Kid]

what is everyone's expected return for butler?

I would be happy with a solid B to B+ prospect at a decent defensive position and/or two solid B arms.

why would this be about that song? the two have absolutely nothing in common.

Even that's wishful thinking, in my mind.  You can literally only trade the guy to one of 7, maybe 8 teams in Major League Baseball.

Other teams becoming convinced that Carlos Beltran is going to land with the Royals, on a deal of 3/$48 million.

beltran isn't worth 3/48.  that would be a poor use of the money.  and if they trade butler to facilitate it...  ridiculous.
