I really don't know what the fuck the Royals were doing this offseason. They hole in RF was a much bigger issue than the rotation.. adding Kennedy isn't going to make that rotation any better... it was shit before the signing and its still shit... They should have put that money into an outfielder.. Fowler or Austin Jackson would have been a fine signing.
Gomes hasn't done shit outside of a few weeks. Lets be honest.. he is a career .262 hitter with a career OBP of .303 and cant stay healthy.
Jason Kipnis is average?
20 + million for a guy who is a cornerstone guy is not dick in todays MLB...shit - like 4 years ago the Indians gave Swisher like 15 a year and were broke as fuck. the freaking qualfying offer is like 14 million. Greinke just got like what? 30-35?
being a top ten catcher is pretty shitty. He is average with the bat... and that is being generous. Kipnis is average.. yes... He is nothing special. and when he is surrounded by the poop in the lineup like cleveland has.. he is even less likely to get a pitch to hit.
lol.. if you think Hosmer is getting a 7 year 150 mil deal... He is going to probably get an 8 year 180 mil deal. The Yankees have been drooling over him for years and will have a ton of money off the books by then.
2 of the last 3 years Kipnis has been a top 3 - AT WORST top 5 2nd basemen i nbaseball- but hes average? CMON man....at leaset have a little credibility here.
Dude.. the Indians lineup has more holes in it than swiss cheese. You are going to have at least 4 guys in your lineup that are not good. Seriously.. You are wasting your time trying to sell to anyone the Indians have a good lineup.
- i think if he wants every last dime he could get a 9 year deal worth like 220- i WOULDNT give him that if i was the royals...just depends on if he wants every last penny. I wouldnt sign him to a 9 year 220 million dollar deal- but then again- i wouldnt have given Verlander and Cabrera the deals they got- but your really paying a big tax on those last years........
no - they will probably trade one or two---- even Gordon if they wanted to- just like they did....I mean- you could have been on here spreading doom and gloom about the Royals when they traded Greinke---- of course they set themselves up for their world series run with that deal.....would it surpise me if they signed Hosmer, traded CAin AND or Gordon, or whatever they think is best- and still were pretty good? absolutely not.....I think Moore has earned a little bit of leash on this when the moves he has made have been pretty damn brilliant over the last 3-4 years for the most part....cant say I like that Kennedy deal though...holy fuck...THANK GOD the Indians can develop their own pitching because it is EXPENSIVE.
You do understand who Hosmer and Moustakas's agent is right? Its Scott Boris.. He IS getting every last penny.
Who is taking on Alex Gordon's contract out of his prime that is back loaded and will pay him 20 mil a year when he is in his late 30's?
reality
there are not ANY 2 players on the tigers that i would trade for Lindor considering the Indians have him the next 6 years at minimal salary.
