Just saying- if all the Royals did after 2014 was show up and get a participation ribbon- it would have been positively the most charlie brown-like tease I can think of as a fan.
I'll pass on the Bauer comparison.
If Moore hadn't been willing to deal Finnegan, who knows.
Hammy again- good luck to whoever signs him longterm.
Through next year. I think they're going to trade Moustakas if they get an offer that isn't a rip in December for some pitching.
Yep- the one and done wings were a way better option than the Lightning who are coming off a finals and ECF appearance, right?
You know, eyeball test, I don't like Cuthbert. But it seems he's doing well. And Moose should be able to fetch something, somewhere. It's gotta hurt his value a little with missing most of this year. But I wouldn't think too much since it's not his arm or his back.
It's a neccessary risk given payroll restraints. Cuthbert is cheap for 5 more years- Moose has 1 not entirely cheap year left. Cuthbert is on pace for that 2 WAR/150 mark so it it's worthy question to ask.
Norris had cancer and started the season hurt. I didn't expect more from him up to this point in the season.
Can I ask what that 2WAR/150 mark means?
In a typical season accounting for offdays- Cuthbert is roughly an average-slightly above average 3B in his career. So far that's really the only position he could play unless he shows more offense going forward. Though he could DH vs Lefties I suppose.
When he retires, no athlete will ever have been paid more in salary.
