Yes, because Frenchy/Getz are in the same situation in their careers as Moose.

You are comparing Getz, who's ceiling has always been low and has never shown to be any good.

Frenchy who is past the point of changing his ceiling and is what he is....shit.

And a young guy who has shown a ceiling that COULD be high given his 20 HR season he demonstrated at a young age and given he is only 24 right now.


Those are piss poor comparisons.

Greg Holland, balls of steel.

I'd let him tea-bag me but I think he'd break my teeth.

You are using reason and intelligence in your post. I suggest refraining in the future. Carry on.

I'm becoming more concerned at DH. Butler is not getting the job done.

Best advice I've seen in this thread in a while.

He's getting pitched around like crazy. Teams just not giving him much to hit.

Needs to pick up his slugging, but everything else is in line.

Raul ibanez is having a great year and this team desperately needs slugging. Would he be a solid upgrade for us? 21 HR on the year.

I could stand watching Ibanez hit 5th for the Royals again. Hosmer/Butler/Ibanez would be pretty salty.

I think we'd see Butler really start driving the ball again if he had legit protection behind him. Works the same way with Chase Utley, IMO.

Ibanez is likely cheaper to acquire than Utley - and much worse in RF than Utley would be at 2B.

Gordon and Salvy are the Royals all-stars

Good job alex and salvy.

Yeah, I just don't see Utley as an option without severely overpaying.

However, Ibanez seems like a legitimate candidate without giving up too much. He's producing beyond expectations, on a one year deal worth 2.75 mill, and the mariners have to be sellers.

Somebody should tweet at Rany and get his thoughts.

Why do people think Utley is going to fetch much of anything on the trade market? The dude is 36 and in the last year of his contract. It's a half-year rental. He's playing pretty well, but this isn't a James Shields type deal. Also Utley's HALF season will cost 7.5 mill and the Phillies have to find a way to save payroll after that foolish deal they gave Howard.
