He's intriguing for sure. Dude is 6'7", but not a power hitter. He had a OBP of .461 and OPS'd at 1.024. He can play RF for sure, but he's not very impressive at this point. He also played 1B. I just don't know how his offense will translate at the MLB level

Woah, Zobrist named his daughter Blaise Royal Zobrist.

Now THAT is awesome.

Wow...that's interesting.

Them being religious people I'm sure Royal can be seen in other directions as well. Still cool though.

Nice work, Zobrist Family. Very nice.

I don't think it has to set a bad example. Almost everyone else in our core group will be younger than Gordon when they hit FA. Paying a 28 year old Hosmer $20/M year makes more sense than eventually paying that to a 34-35 year old Gordon, if that is what comes to pass.

Hosmer's next deal will pay him that money at that age as well.

mr. tegu 11-06-2015 06:20 PM

I am pretty confident we will sign Young. We gave Chen a two year $9 million dollar deal a few years back after a one year contract he had with us. We will likely do the same with Young who is better and probably wouldn't even cost that much.

Well, if nothing else, he and CY can have dunking contests. :)

Can someone start a new thread telling the rest of the board to post Royals news in here and to stop starting new threads for every tidbit. LMAO

Yeah but you might have to sign Hosmer to a 9 or 10 year deal to reach that mark. And you'd at least be paying for his 28-32 seasons in the process. And maybe most importantly, we'll have a new TV deal for the most of that contract.

It's a world series championship, you can't tell me you didn't see an influx of Royals threads coming...

And prefer Royals threads over bidet threads any day
