Oh god. I was at one of his games where he allowed like 12 runs in 2 innings or whatever the hell it was.

Jacobs was dogshit. Had one of my first big Royals arguments here with folks insisting that he and a reliever (Farnsworth?) were A+ pickups. Y'all best keep Dave McCarty's name out of your mouths, though. For some reason I always liked that guy...

Hosmer and Moustakas were GMDM picks. Alex Gordon was Allard Baird.

Hosmer couldn't handle another stud in the clubhouse. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've always wondered about that myself. Dayton Moore was hired by the Royals a couple of days BEFORE the draft, yet they insisted he had nothing to do with their draft that year. I'd think a brand new GM would at least make a phone call expressing his opinion about which player his new team should select with the #1 overall draft pick.
Edit: OK, Wikipedia says he was officially hired 2 days after the draft. I still think (and thought at the time) that as part of the interview process, Dayton would have expressed an opinion about who the team should take with the #1 overall pick.

Ross Gload's career OPS was only .030 lower than all-universe Hosmer's. Just sayin.

Tony Pena Jr. How dare you. I always loved seeing him swing out of his shoes. He would swing so hard, his helmet would come flying off. Yet he would hit 1 hr a year. Guy was a hell of a defender, though. If I recall. Hit hit .266 one year and even that, you knew it was a fluke.

Well, to be fair... he has the baserunning ability of Dyson (and a complete void of power). The comparison ends there. He doesn't bring quite the flexibility in the OF.. He's pretty much just an average CF'er with a Johnny Damon-esque arm. He might play RF in a pinch, but you're not gonna want to trot him out there regularly like you could with Dyson. Dyson was a stud Defensively ANYWHERE you put him in the OF. Burns has much better plate discipline than Dyson has ever had... so that's a bit of a bonus when talking about a slap guy you just want to see on the paths.
You could play Dyson every day for extended periods, because of his defensive presence at multiple positions... You're not gonna want to do that with Burns. Burns is a straight up 4th\5th OFer that you use for pinch running duties (or pinch hitting in interleague). He might spell a guy every so often, but that guy is primarily gonna be Cain... or slide Cain to Right. Completely different roster dynamic with him vs. Dyson.

Burns is poverty Eaton.
He reminds me a bit of Skip Schumaker. Good enough bat control and a solid batting eye but so little thump that pitchers just challenge him every AB. So you won't get many BBs or strikeouts because pitchers throw him strikes and he has the batting eye to recognize them so he'll swing. The problem is the massive amount of soft contact and how BABIP dependent his production is going to be. That much soft contact (most of it on the ground) is going to make for a lot of really easy outs, especially when pitchers don't even have to be inside conscious on him. They can fire the ball right at his hands and not really worry about him yanking it over the fence on them. So with all 4 quadrants vailable to them, pitchers can get him off balance and guessing pretty easily, then set about knocking the bat out of his hands if all else fails. He's a bit like DeJesus was in that he's a guy that can perform admirably as a starter for a .500 or worse team but if you're aiming at 90+ wins and he's starting for you (especially in CF), he's almost certainly the weak link on your squad.
