He's a poor Mizzou fan.

Let him bask in the Royals preseason glory!

It's all he has got.

George you are truly a bitter Royals fan. I just can't give up on them...I spent too many years of my youth rooting for Amos, Big John, Cookie, Freddie, Paul Schaal, Drago, Busby, Scheinblum, etc....to just give up on them.

I'm tired of it. After pages and pages of good discussion, you get a post like that.

I like the idea of having runners on base so there is a possibility of them being clogged.

Anyone?

I think they're pretty interchangeable. Escobar maybe a bit better OBP, handles the bat better (will take ball to right side to move runner), etc. He's a better bunter, which I'm sure Ned appreciates but I could care less about. I'm ok with it, as I like the idea of having a little more pop at the back end of the lineup.

Picked Lorenzo Cain up as a potential 4th OF for my FBB team. Do you guys think he has a legit chance at a 20/30 season this year?

I like Cain's power and speed at that spot, but I see where you're coming from. I'm splitting hairs, as I think we would be good with either.

If he gets enough AB's. It's looking like he'll bat 7th

If he stays healthy. He's kind of snake bitten injury bug type of a player...

Probably not, more due to health. Talent is probably there.

He has been smashing the shit out of the ball in the Cactus League.

If he plays 150 games, I can't see why he doesn't get at least 15 HR's and steal 25 bases.

The talent is there.
