Pretty telling how the Royals have addressed their holes this year. RF, 2B were both replaced. 3B got a backup to compete with him, at least to take away some AB. And they tried to trade their DH. All those things tell us what Royals management really thought of their players last year (but couldn't do much about).

I'd love to add one more pitcher, and a power bat of some sort.
I'm already excited about the season. |

Potential platoon splits:
Moose vs. RHP = .252/.304/.707 DannyV vs. LHP = .329/.367/.879 |

I really like what Dayton's doing trying to address the depth on this team. Such an un-Chiefs/Royals thing to do. If we run into injuries or guys don't play well, there are other options to replace them. Valencia/Maxwell are bats off the bench that can play the corners/DH, Dyson has speed and Bonifacio can fill in almost anywhere as the utility guy. It's almost like a real baseball team.

Can we afford another starting pitcher? That's what has me worried the most

It's getting the most responses, so he'll continue until they stop.

I really think the Royals are looking across the parking lot and saying "****. They got it right and look at the fan base. We have to do the same. Ride the wave."

I don't if he did, and I don't if he didn't. Would have been nice to be a fly on the wall to hear all those conversations, including the Aoki, Beltran and Vargas conversations as well.
Unfortunately, we won't or never will know how the conversation will go. Exec #1 "I'd give you X player for Y and H player?" Exec #2 "Nah, How about X player for Z?"

Looks like "Joe Average Fan" is going to hate this move, if Facebook is any barometer.
Not surprising, but still disappointing. Be prepared for that conversation, folks.
