I definitely love the value of that pick and like the idea of having No. 19, the comp pick for Santana, and the competitive balance pick. Would give KC three of the top 40 or so picks and a big pool to play with. Just pointing out that the ability to be creative in the draft is not completely blown if you lose the first round pick as compensation for Beltran. The pick is valuable... but is it more valuable than adding a player who provides the following:

Question for all of you. How much Longer do we give Moose and Escobar to turn it around at the plate? Reasonably.

Does Escobar have options like Moose? I say give them the first month of the season, then send them to Omaha. I hope Moose gets in shape. I can tolerate Escobar because of his D. But Escobar looked uninterested at the plate this year, for whatever reason. Moose looked overmatched and over weight.

With the deal for Aoki I think we should just bow out of the Beltran sweepstakes and go after a 3B instead. Moose blows and he needs competition over there to light a fire under his butt. I don't want us to waste half a season again not having anyone to come up and replace him when he's awful yet again to start the first 3 months of the season. His free ride at 3B should needs to be over. Make him earn it and if he can't win the job get us someone who at least is serviceable over there.

David Freese, who frankly sucked last year, has arthritis in his ankles, a drinking problem and will make about $6 million next season, netted the best defensive CFer in baseball and a guy that hit 20+ HRs in AA his first time through it at 21 (while also winning a minor league GG). 3b is friggen thin. It's gonna be damn hard to find someone that's more valuable than Moose over there if for no other reason than his occasionally stellar defense. Escobar - same story. The guys a plus plus defender and the position is just bereft of talent. If he keeps playing GG defense, you may just have to live with it. When Mondesi is ready, he'll probably end up displacing him but that's going to take some time still.

Those are probably the 2 best 3b options out there.

They need to get on Alex Gordon's routine. If worst came to worst, we could move Alex back to 3B, but it would hurt to have to give up a gold glove in left. If Moose goes oh for the first three months of the season, it may force such a move. |

That's why bringing in another 2B option is so critical. DO that, and Boni is your insurance at 3B.

They need to do something. We can't have him going into another season with no one to back him up. Perhaps we should trade a bullpen arm for a 3B prospect. I just keep seeing last year where if only we'd have had someone in our minors that Dayton believed in to bring up when frenchy/moose stunk it up we could have won a couple more games and maybe it would have been enough to make the playoffs. I don't want it to happen again where we don't have anyone to bring up and just have to ride out the suck.
