ChiefsPlanet - Royals *** Official 2016 Royals Offseason Repository ***

Had been hoping to get rid of Revere all offseason, was starting to lose hope on that front. Saunders/Pompey are both better outfielders than him. To get something of actual value in return for him is better than I could have hoped.

Like this trade for the nats... Get a good on base/contact speed guy for a shitty reliever.

Revere is a bad defender with a career .328 OBP and no power whatsoever. They can have him. I'll take the RP with a 5 year track record of being very effective.

Yep, he is so good you were able to get him for Ben Revere. More importantly heard the jays want to extend Joey Bats and Encarnacion... looking forward to seeing what jack they give two mid 30's roid heads.

I don't know, it seems like he can still be sold as a "good on base/contact speed guy" to morons like yourself. LMAO

You really are out of touch, aren't you? There's little chance they extend either one of them and definitely not both. The Jays don't have the kind of money to throw 80M+ at mid 30s DHs (even if they are two of the best hitters in baseball right now).

Don't get touchy because your a Jays fan... Atkins was on with Bowden earlier saying he has discussed extensions with both Joey Bats and EE. More than likely they'll be traded off this season as you fall beneath the tide of the Red Sox and Yankees.

Touchy? Maybe try not speaking with authority in the future about things with which you know nothing about. It would help everyone involved, not the least of which yourself.

I'm aware of that interview. And no, Atkins hasn't discussed extensions with either one of them (just the desire to do so, although even that remark is just him placating fans). If you knew anything about the team, you'd know there's little chance of that happening. The money isn't there. And even if it was, the new administration wouldn't use it in that way. From the sounds of it, though, it seems we can both agree that giving out long, expensive contracts to mid 30s DHs is a bad idea.

All depends on how he hits. If his tools finally translate to production and he starts hot at NWA and then continues that at Omaha, they may make the move midseason.

Also depends on how Colon/Infante perform. If they're getting quality production from either guy, KC may wait one more year on Mondesi and allow him to continue to season.

Mondesi and Starling are probably the two most important in the system, because there are so few position player types close and ready.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see, if they are positive about keeping Moustakas, them have Cuthbert work on LF/RF defense.

I like Cuthbert but I dont have the baseball knowledge all you guys do. Every time I seen him last year that looked like a major league bat and adequate glove.

Steamer WAR predictions for 2016 out today:

Cleve 85
White Sux 81
Royals 79
Tigers 79
Twinks 78

There are 54 wins still out on the FA market. If you bought the top guy at each spot, you'd end up with 80 wins. Or a Royals team, only for like $250M

-assuming we get another starter, which we will, you can add 1-3 wins for that for pretty much any guy not named Guthrie

No, that was PECOTA. That has a long term +/- of 8 vs this which is 4.

Cleve, Det and Minny look to be done with adds (Cleve already said it). Sux in on some rumors but they just took on $12M with Frazier + Lawrie.
