Should have traded Colon to Chicago for Rizzo. I for one do not approve of this deal.

:clap:

It was up there with Joe Carter and Kirby Puckett. Amazing!

What a great day!! Gordo will be a Royal for life!!

Now the Chiefs need to win this week...

This deal just gets better and better:

I'm indifferent. He's entering decline phase no question and he was never a great hitter. But we have $30M to spend and glaring holes in both corner OF. If he even has 1 AS caliber year he's paid off half. And they're getting ready to move him to 1B in two years anyway so he should be able to squeeze out value in yrs 3+4.

Is KC allowed to have 2 great days in a week?

His 2011 and 2012 seasons probably register as "great" offensive season, but he's been more of an above-average hitter than a great one.

At 8.4/WAR, he needs to produce 8.5 WAR for the Royals to break even. I think it's reasonable to hope he gives you one more great all-around season 4-4.5 WAR, legit all-Star level), one more above average, and then a couple as a quality/average type starter.

I expect he'll see some time at 1B in 2018 and 2019 as well (as will Salvador Perez), but still play some Lf (unless his defense in LF remains above-average).

Of course, if someone stakes a claim to 1B in the meantime, that could change. I

That was an easy 50 dollar bet that I won.
I knew Dayton wanted to sign him, best to keep the core group together to repeat.

What's the platoon situation going to be with Gordo and Salvy..? DH one and 1B thr other or..

I hope so!! KC teams have been on a nice winning streak. Unprecedented awesomeness!!

Both teams should be contenders for the next few years. Such a different culture for both.

I'm far happier about Alex Gordon resigning than I even imagined I would be.

Gordo will play LF every day and Salvy will play C almost every day.
That's the platoon.
