Can they make 3 million?

I think he will come around, but if he doesn't, you have some in house potential replacement candidates. |

His wins above replacement numbers have also been depressed by shitty defensive metrics for 1B, which have somehow managed to grade him out as a NEGATIVE factor at 1B, below multiple well-known butchers, including Jose Abreu and Chris Carter and Ryan Howard and Carlos ****ing Santana. Even this year, when he's going nuts with the bat, he's on pace to be just a 4.2 bWAR player because he somehow has been graded out as already costing the Royals six runs defensively (-0.6 dWAR). I don't think you can reliably use 1B WAR as a measuring stick for their true worth like you can at other positions, because the defensive figures are so jacked. That said, Hosmer will likely underperform his FA contract, as most big-time, six figure FA signings do. His age (28/29 in his first year on the new deal) and position will give him a better chance to live up to it than most, though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sad that a larger metro population with a downtown stadium and great public transit is drawing well? The Royals are 11th in average attendance right now and on pace to be right in line with last season, and we're just now getting to the summer months, when attendance tends to swell due to kids being out of school.

32,652 Dartgod posted the numbers for last week. Not bad for a holiday weekend when a lot of people go out of town. That’s a major drop! Exactly, how did you determine the drop was related to AG being out?

Need to average 39k/game the rest of the way, which is above capacity. So probably not. Kansas City's listed capacity is 37,903. The Royals would have to have 98 percent attendance to reach that mark. Only San Francisco and St. Louis had that percentage last year. KC was top 5 in attendance by percentage of capacity last year at 88.2 percent, and would still be top 5 based on this year's current 86 percent (a figure that likely will creep up in the summer months). Being the 28th largest TV market in MLB and drawing top 10 raw numbers and top 5 by percentage is more than respectable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

KC is in the bottom 5 of smallest media markets, and 11th is bad behind LA, NY, Toronto (3rd largest city in North America), Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, and 1 other city (St. Louis)?

A 500 mile radius around Denver and you don't reach another MLB team. A 500 mile radius around Kansas City and you get St. Louis, 2 Chicago teams, Milwaukee, Minnesota, and Texas.

Denver isn't much bigger, 2.8 vs 2.1. Downtown park means nothing with a garbage team, Cleveland can't draw flies with a good team and downtown park. Denver fans are just better. Let's admit it. They sellout everything even when their teams suck hairy balls |

Everything is relative. The Indians have the double whammy of being a football town that also has the biggest superstar in the world playing playoff games during the first three months of the season. Throw in the distrust of the team/owners after the Sabathia/Cliff Lee-era sell off, and you have a disinterested fanbase that likely will only come back with a long and successful playoff run. Having a bigger city, with a downtown ballpark that is easy to get to for a large downtown work community (which also means major season ticket sales for local businesses), with great public transit that makes it easy for people outside city center to get in and out safely, even if they have several beers at the game... Definitely factors that help attendance. Cleveland is about the only example of a downtown park failing, and it took a long time for it to get to that point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
