I don't hate this. I am thinking Escobar, though. He just blows me away every game.

You spelled Lorenzo Cain's name incorrectly.

810 with Petro on his two minute drill segment. It was earlier this week. He basically said Price doesn't like the city or the cold.

Interesting. I'll try to catch that podcast. Good news for KC (Until he signs with the Angels or Astros).

If they're packaged together? Absolutely, it could net a top 25 prospect for both.

It would be interesting to see if Houston was willing to move Mark Appel for Price and Cespedes. That's about the only contender I can think of that has a deep enough system to move that type of talent without it being too crippling of a blow.

Give no ****s about RBIs. Morales hovers around .800 OPS. That's fine with me. He's earning his contract. But to call him our MVP? Absurd.

Cain would obviously be my choice, too.
I still can't believe how far he has come from even a couple years ago.

I forgot RBI's don't matter, especially for a team that struggled putting runs on the board. Our record has nothing to do with getting run support this year. You're right

Come on, man..throw strikes

Lorenzo Cain is going to be a top 5 MVP finisher at this point but yeah, our fourth best hitter Morales who doesn't play defense is team MVP

WTF?? 6 run lead and back-back walks? I understand pitching around Encarnacion.....but come on

Balbino singles to right on a 2-2 count.

Ump is not giving the high strike today

He's getting RBIs because moose and Cain are always on base. Morales has played good baseball this year. He's just not even remotely close to team MVP. Period.
