We never got that middle of the order bat that JJ promised us in his after season press conference and it’s showing.

Yeah, I know we tried (Santander, etc.) with a couple guys, but ‘tried’ isn’t good enough. They needed to get that shit done. Period. Especially when we got 3 TOR guys in which one is likely gone after this year and the other will fall off the year after. The time to strike was this 3 year window (last year, this year, next year).

Apparently the new plan is to sit patiently and hope and pray Jac develops into suped up Joey Gallo with a lower K rate.

It can't be good for team chemistry to see ****ing losers like Isbel and Melendez shit themselves and get rewarded with playing time. No consequences for sucking. Hell, I'd rather rush someone up than play these talentless bums. Also, Erceg needs to give blood transfusions to these weak ass jagoff relievers. No one but him has any sack. Doesn't help.that our manager uses an outdated pitching rotation app on his iPhone to make bullpen decisions. He is wrong 99% of the time. Like ****ing cursed by gypsies wrong.

Problem is that if Caglianone develops as you hope, the Royals are probably breaking even as Salvador ages out.

Unless Mitchell develops -- and he's a good prospect in his own right. Probably not who I'd have taken (I'd have looked at Dollander with that pick, maybe Shaw), but he has every possibility of being a good player.

But like any mid/small market team these days, you need more than one thing to go right. And it's a real bitch and a half that when something goes AS right as Bobby Witt Jr, you're still probably 4-5 small miracles away from contention.

But that's the blessing and curse of baseball. One guy just can't carry the load.
