Only if the unnamed player is a guy that immediately puts us in WS talk (Shields-esque if you will)... but you're not gonna get someone like that for Butler... especially when there is a Morales (having to give up a draft pick only) on the market.

It's not like he's throwing his body around against the CF Wall. He just rejected a 14 mil - 1 year deal so he won't be cheap.. AND would cost a draft pick.

I guess if we want to get older, more expensive, take a huge dive in OBP, and lose a draft pick to acquire a guy that we basically already have at a position that we don't need. Then sure...

to me... He makes little sense.
I would think he'd be major insurance for a Butler trade...that said Butler won't bring back top 2 rotation pitcher or a hitter as good as him

That's some damned expensive insurance.

I just don't see where trading away Billy and then signing worse, older, less durable, and more expensive replica of him gets us for 2014.

And by more expensive, we're talking literally twice the cost... and a huge injury risk.

Yeah, no thanks. I just don't see a single reason why a team like the Royals in their current situation would even think about making these moves.

Oh wait, Billy is fat.

I think it would be damn stupid to trade Billy, but it'd have to be the right deal for them to sign another DH, someone that improves the team alot.

Just don't see it.

The Royals would never do this, but the only way I'd be okay with the move is if they move Hos to RF. If they cut ties with Hoch and Davis, it may be possible salary wise as well.

This lineup would be freaking sick.

1. Aoki
2. Hosmer
3. Morales
4. Gordon
5. Butler
6. Salvy
7. Moose
8. Escobar
9. Infante

But, alas, the Royals would never do it.

You should always make your gold glove winner change positions. :roll eyes:

We are going to roll with two outfielders. Aoki and Gordon can split CF.

Anyone can feel free to correct me, but I do not believe that subpar defense at first base and right field would be a back-breaker for us in 2014.

Demonpenz 01-02-2014 09:49 PM
Hosmer's DNA is as a first basemen.

Nightfyre 01-02-2014 09:52 PM
Hosmer has the arm/athleticism for RF, I just don't know that we want to take the time to develop him there. And Butler is a ****ing travesty at 1b. Plus, Hos made some great picks that definitely saved some runs.

Demonpenz 01-02-2014 09:53 PM
remember when Butler started a couple games in Left Field? That was fun.
