First you think Bubba Starling can hit .238 in the majors in 2017, now you're recycling this Zobrist crap.

If you think Soler won't pan out, fine. It's certainly an arguable point. But argue it. Don't cloak it in BS.

Obviously the Royals thought Bubba could hit at least that-or they would not have drafted him in the first place. The point was, most prospects don't pan out. Isn't that what Soler is? The Royals traded a known commodity -hoping he can be a descent power hitter they really need.
As far as Ben-it never seemed the Royals really tried all that hard-but I will let it rest. It was a great move on his part and I am happy for him. I am sure Wade is excited to be going for a repeat. The Cubs are loaded.
