Agreed on Gordo to the Sox. That would rub me the wrong way.

I'm hoping he stays for a reasonable contract, but if he doesn't go to the NL at least please.

That's some bullshit.

There's two different blu-Ray/DVDs. The collectors edition,which is several discs or the WS film, which I imagine only focuses on the WS. I haven't bought either because all the post season games are still on my DVR, but I've read the collectors edition covers most of the post season. Still not much regular season footage. Bummer. Games like "Paulo Homo" and the division clicher should be commemorated

Yeah, the reviews so far in Amazon say the same. I think fans are usually too critical of these things, but taking the first 10 minutes or so to build up to the World Series would've been nice. Especially since this particular team had such an amazing run and did things no other team has done, and all that coming off a year where they were 90 feet away from game 7. They had a great narrative for a documentary. They don't even get into all the historic comebacks until game 4 of the WS.

From Blu-Ray's review... an unbiased perspective.

@jonmorosi: #Royals presently in contact with representatives for Yovani Gallardo, sources confirm. Scott Kazmir is also on their list. @FOXSports

Just get both.

Hard for me to get excited about either of those guys at this point in their careers but maybe Dayton strikes Edinson like gold again in the bargain bin...

I don't think Gallardo would qualify as a "bargain bin" acquisition. Kazmir is in pretty high demand.

I would look at a guy like Lincecum as a true bargain bin opportunity.

It was also hard for us to get really excited about any of our acquisitions last season. We were just hoping that even two of Morales, Rios, Volquez, and Young would figure something out. It's definitely where GMDM and his staff excel.

Does Gallardo have a pick attached?

Yes.

I said it awhile ago, but he's a really odd fit for KC. His stuff isn't what it once was and the Royals can make just about anybody's stuff play up due to the combination of their park and their defense.

Why would you pay big money and give up a pick for a guy that's not going to be demonstrably better than Chris Young would be? I really don't understand the pursuit here.

Yost loves him, and while his K rate has been dropping, he still got the job done at a decent level in Texas.

I imagine they think he plays up a little bit with the spacious confines of the K and the Royals D behind him.

Kazmir makes more sense because he's better and doesn't cost a pick. But Gallardo would be a stabilizing factor in he rotation and good bet to chew innings at better than league average rates.

Not nuts about it but wouldn't be upset with it.

And honestly, I could be made to see the sense in having Gallardo for 3/39 rather than Leake for 5/90. Or Kazmir for 4/60.

Do you really think 3/$39 gets it done for Gallardo? Maybe the pick compensation will serve to keep his AAV down a bit.

I just figured that coming off his age 29 season he'd be holding out for a 4 year deal. Maybe the AAV sticks at 13 but I'd think you'd still need to go a 4th year.

Not sure. Just throwing out figures.

If he and Kazmir are both at four years, I'd prefer Kazmir unless there's a huge gap in AAV.

Market is hard to predict, though.
