I think his upside has basically been reached. He's a good pitcher (and better than anyone on KC currently, though Duffy is in the same territory, potentially), but without a dynamite breaking pitch, I think he'd take a step back in the AL. Either at, Teheran to KC is highly unlikely, IMO. His value is at a peak, and the Braves are going to demand a ton for him. I don't think KC could get to that deal without moving Mondesi, and so think that's a complete nonstarter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On a positive note, I will say that Yo, before last nights game, really looked like he had solved his issue with giving up an inordinate amount of walks. 6 total for the month of June is very good over 29 innings pitched.

I'm not sure I want to move a guy like Dozier, who could also really help the big league club.

I wonder if the Twins would move Brian Dozier. He is 29 now and would they be able to compete before he starts to decline or his contract is up? I dont know much about their system but they seem very far away.

In a perfect world, you wouldn't have to, but the Royals' world - and rotation - are far from perfect. Drew Pomeranz would be a nice fit for KC, as : 1) he has three years of control remaining after this year 2) aj Preller is a dumbass Not sure what would need to go in that package in addition to Dozier, but that would be a win-win situation for both teams, potentially. Only caution other than giving up 6.5 years of Dozier is that Pomeranz has been off-injured. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Watching Cody Reed get lit up by the Cubs this afternoon. Cincy is such a bandbox, it's really not a place to rush a young pitcher into. I wonder if any of the three former Royals will make it. No wonder the Reds never develop pitchers.

I seriously am iffy on being aggressive in the trade market this year probably because the bulk of the starting rotation has been bad or so inconsistent. Young has no business in the rotation.
I still think Duffy has it in him to give you a quality number 3 type of performance consistently. Can Edison return to high 2 rotation numbers? Will Ventura get back on track in the 2nd half of the season like last year? Still have to see if Medlan is improved coming off rehab. The SP has underwhelmed significantly to this point, but you have to see some clear evidence of a couple of these guys turning the corner if you want to justify making the move for an impact arm and trading away other talent in the farm system. Last year, the acquisition of those couple pieces made total sense because it filled out what was needed and very recognizable. This SP this year has been so weak, acquiring one top arm may not have the impact because the rest of the rotation has been shaky at best. So, then you have to weigh if trading future talent is going to ultimately impact your franchise negatively for a rental who might net you 5 or 6 more wins but don't realistically improve your likelihood of a deep postseason.

Reed needs a third pitch, especially one to keep RH batters off balance. He's murder on lefties with that fastball/slider combo, but he needs more. Not surprised to see the Cubs light him up. Lot of RH pop in that lineup. Quote:
Good points all the way around. Duffy, Volquez, Kennedy and Ventura might be enough of Volquez bounces back and Duffy continues to be strong (I'd actually tick his current performance level up at least a notch), even if Kennedy continues to struggle on the road and Ventura remains enigmatic. But that 5 spot is an issue. I'm not in favor of giving up a ton for a rental and would be more in favor of a minor piece in a case like that (such as CC Sabathia). But if it's someone like Pomeranz who has several years of control remaining, I'm willing to consider trading from minor league positions of depth to improve the rotation. With Moustakas, Cuthbert, and Dozier, KC may have enough depth there to make a move. Same with the OF, where Orlando, Eibner, Fuentes and Dyson lurk in reserve roles and make it easier to consider trading a Jorge Bonifacio. Re: Cain... I have a buddy who has been bitching for two weeks about Cain dogging it to first. I wish he had been bitching about it again last night... Tough injury to overcome.

Definitely a tough injury to overcome - hoping for the best though - BTW what WOULD best-case be - like a month?
