Best record in 2.5 decades and best 2nd half record in the league this year. He should be fired.

I don't think they'll go into the offseason with the plan to replace Escobar, but it would be smart to improve the depth at SS (a tall task in this environment, considering how few quality SSs are available). Not sure what they'll do with Moustakas. Considering this organization's historical loyalty to players, I don't imagine they'll really make an effort to push him out/move him, but it would be great to bring in someone who can play either 2B or 3B and provide some pop. While the end of April 2013 was WAY too soon to give up on Moustakas/demote him, the end of April 2014 would not be too soon if he's struggling. Would be nice to have a better option than playing a AAAA player there or rushing a prospect next season. If they bring in an "answer" at 2B and slide Bonifacio to a UTIL role, then you have insurance at 3B. If they bring in an "answer" at 2B that also can play 3B, you have insurance.

2. Yes, We need more power. IIRC, KC has 110 homeruns. Not good. 3. Yes, those two should be aware that they are going to be put on notice, and if they don't produce, they'll be shipped off to the scrap heep. 4. Would be nice to extend Shields, but I'm not 100% sure on that yet. Hosmer is, to me, more important than Shields at this point, but each side has it's positives and negatives in the argument.

I don't see any way in hell Davis, Chen, Ventura, Duffy or Zimmer are going to throw 200 innings next year. If we don't re-sign Santana, we need to go find somebody else who will give us at least league-average 200 innings. Then you can slot the remaining guys at 4 and 5, which is where they belong right now. |

If the target is someone who can pitch 180-200 innings at a decent level (especially with this defense behind them), there are a lot of potential options for that in FA, and a lot with the same time of potential upside/payoff we saw from Santana.

So it looks like Lincecum is probably going back to the Giants. Too bad, I really thought he would have been a great 1-year option to resurrect his stock as a dominant ace on a $15 million deal.
So if not Santana, who will get a qualifying offer to secure a draft pick, who? We've talked about Josh Johnson. Also due to hit the market are Matt Garza (who will probably make more than Santana, so no), Ricky Nolasco, Bronson Arroyo, Roberto Hernandez (formerly known as Fausto Carmona), Scott Kazmir, Ubaldo Jimenez, Phil Hughes, Hiroki Kuroda, and a few more. I still dream about a Shields/Lincecum 1-2 punch, but realize it's probably not happening. |

He might be adapting, though...he's still striking out almost 200 batters a season and has been very durable, despite his epileptic delivery. 197 innings and 193 strikeouts this season.

I expect Nolasco to re-sign in LA. Names I'd like to see KC look at are: Nolasco Scott Feldman Josh Johnson Scott Kazmir Phil Hughes Wandy Rodriguez (if the Pirates do not pick up his pricy option)

I hope like heck that they can get Santana signed. It would mean a lot and further signify their commitment to get away from the Wal-Mart approach.
