Regarding the Indians and love of them...

Still not a ton of upside offensively (average at max) for them, the defense is still bad at most spots besides SS, and the bullpen is just OK.

But they have four starting pitchers who strike out tons of guys, so FIP loves them and so do projections systems.

I don't know if they will with Gordon on board, but Blackmon or Dickerson would be a really nice fit in KC's lineup.

Dickerson has some major power and is younger, but he is injury prone. Blackmon is really fast and could, I think, play a quality RF.

CarGo obviously is the most proven bat name, but he'd cost the most to acquire, is controlled for the shortest period, and has the least years of control left.

If KC could build something around Almonte and get one of Dickerson/Blackmon, I would do it. But not sure that would be enough for Colorado.

I like Dickerson. For those of us who aren't experts in sports injuries, is plantar fasciitis something that becomes a chronic injury, or could we expect him move past it?

Typically is chronic. It's one of the ailments that Pujols has dealt with for so long.

Didn't think his case was particularly severe for some reason.

I would definitely prefer Blackmon over Dickerson, but I don't think they would take a light package including Almonte as the center piece. Which is exactly what you were thinking. I think they are perfectly content with what they have.

I call these projections bullshit as I did last year. The Royals are still the best team in the division.

The Angels are apparently involved in Blackmon trade talks. Miguel Almonte would be their No. 1 prospect, so unless they're sending back a Cron, that would be a do-able thing.

There's a large contingent of Royals fans in the Bay area?

Did not know.
