Im not sure who's more insecure. Brady fans or Brady/Pats haters.

Yes

Your thoughts on the Royals trade just now?

Not sure yet.

I'm ok with it, if it is part of a full blown rebuild.

If it's to sign Hosmer, then I don't like it.

what about you?

I thought for sure this was a piece of click bait until I read that the Redskins' president twittered that Disney was going to report it, then I took it seriously. Good find!

Strongly suspect it’s the latter. Better be more than just Hosmer if he’s signed.

The fans, easily

The haters here mostly just like to troll the insecure fan base

Lukewarm. Don’t know enough anout Oaks to say it’s good or bad.

Thats a lot of money tied up Hosmer, Gordon and Kennedy.

They'll have to make some other moves if they want to get below $120M

I'm sure you read royalsreview.com

For what it’s worth, Oaks is also a groundball pitcher and ranked #14 on MLB Pipeline’s Dodgers prospect list (he also fell in the #11-20 range for Baseball Prospectus). His proximity to the majors is a huge plus for the Royals, whose starting pitching depth is obviously suspect. A seventh-round pick out of California Baptist University in 2014, Oaks gets by on a heavy sinker and changeup, mixing in a fringy slider for his third pitch. An oblique injury forced him to miss some of the 2017 season, but the 6’3” righty has otherwise been a durable starter in his ascent through the minors.

Mejia cannot be found on any of the Dodgers’ top prospect lists, though that isn’t to say he might not find himself amongst the Royals top prospects, as the Royals’ farm is considerably weaker than the Dodgers’ system. Mejia put together a solid 102-game run in Double-A this past season, putting up a 117 wRC+ in 403 PA with a .289/.357/.413 triple-slash with 7 dongs and 25 steals.

Both prospects are at least relatively close and could conceivably contribute this season.

Meh. I am of the belief they have money- enough money to sign Moose with his market seemingly non-existent. There’s no way i believe the poverty argument if they are throwing 147M at Hosmer.

I do- I am away from the laptop as that’d be the first place I’d check and trust on this stuff.

 

[black francis]

"fuck you. you try throwing those check downs. dickhead"

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Hmm- looks to me we could see these guys next year the more I am reading. Junis/Oaks would be a pair of #4 types on a legit rotation we hope. Mejia looks like the 2B to me when Whit is moved while Mondesi sits on SS.

[NWPATSFAN]

Oh wait am I too late? I see we're onto the Royals.

I may need to be blinded to survive another season of Escobar.

Believe it and trading Jimmy G=a huge mistake.
