:slaps forehead:

Roster construction continues to be a massive problem.

Cain is going to draw a TON of walks hitting 8th, if he shows any plate discipline at all. Teams are going to pitch around him to get to Escobar, especially in late innings, knowing KC can't pinch hit for him.

So glad they're hanging on to Dyson, though! (rolls eyes)

Franklin would be an interesting trade target if the Mariners are not asking too much for him. Jack Z is terrible, so KC might be able to get a nice discount there. I'm still concerned about the way FRanklin fell off after his hot start (he was flat-out awful from like July 1 on), but he's a young guy with upside.
