Cueto, from my POV, appears to be one of those guys better suited for the NL than the AL. It's impossible to know for certain but I think that signing Cueto would have been a major mistake. |

Back to back WS and 1 championship. I'll "settle" for this if I were him.

Agreed. Tickets sold because we went back-to-back WS and won last year. Tickets were going to be the same regardless of the Gordon signing

When I was a kid 4-man rotations were pretty common, and pitchers routinely pitched CGs and into the 8th inning.
So now why does everyone have to be on a 5-man rotation when pitchers rarely make it to the 7th (in the Royals case anyway)? |

Ben Zobrist wanted to go play for Joe Madden and the Cubbies. And even if he hadn't been determined to go to the Cubs, would you really have been happy if Dayton Moore had given a $56 million contract to a 35 year old with a career batting average of .265? And it would have been complete lunacy for a small market team to pay $120 million to a guy who was as unreliable as Cueto was last year. The Giants could afford to take a chance. The Royals couldn't. 20/20 hindsight is remarkably accurate. Who really thought Zobrist would be an MVP candidate and Cueto would be a Cy Young candidate? Did you? |

I feel like the Royals should be in sell mode. There are a couple of players that could bring back some good prospects. Herrera being at the top of that list. Volquez is also on that list as well.
