The Royals are a team full of impatient singles hitters, god forbid we get a guy with legit power that will walk 100 times. I could careless about his batting average his OBP more than makes up for it.

And are you going to play him in LF? Or trade the one good, young hitter on the team? Or trade the guy the Royals' fanbase loves most?
Questions: If KIla sucks and is traded in the offseason to make room for a Dunn signing, how is that received?
If Kila is good and is traded to make room for him, how is that received?
If Dunn becomes a Royal, we'd see 35-40 HR, 100 BB, 175 K, 90-100 RBI for sure from him, and probably about a .390 OBP. We'd also see a ton of runners either stranded or not advanced (BB) by Dunn, leaving the run production duties on someone else's shoulders, anyway.
I just can't see it happening. But hey, maybe Kila will suck, they'll move him, and my main objection is moot.
