I think this has been one of the most depressing, uninspiring offseasons in recent memory.
I REALLY like the signing for the Cuban pitcher, but would have liked to see us make a run at Chapman, the other Cuban pitcher, for $5MM a year. Those are the risks I think a team like the Royals needs to make. Making a trade push for Brandon Morrow, or calling the Angels to see if they would consider moving some of their young MI depth (Aybar, Izturis, Kendrick) would have also been welcome. I hate giving money to these stopgaps with absolutely no upside whatsoever. Sickening.
