2017 is a pretty aggressive time table for him, but he's on track to meet it. Depends on a how well he hits at AA this year. If he performs at a high level, Mondesi could get to Omaha this year and be on track for a 2017 debut.

The beauty of Zobrist is his versatility. If Mondesi is ready in 2017, you can find a spot for Zobrist in LF (if you don't bring back Gordon), RF, or even as a DH/rotating UTIL guy (if Kendrys Morales moves on after this season).

What's Mondesi's time table to get to majors? September callup, 2017 ready to go. Or is it longer than that.

Does anyone know if Mondesi speaks English?

Only catch is that's surely coming up in contract negotiations now. He's not going to be cheap.

Rany said last time we had someone in top 8 was 1990. Last time in top 5 was 1985.

Just googled it. He is fluent in English since he was born in the states.

Personally, I think Mike Leake would be a great fit with KC's defense and park, and I know Moore has long coveted him. He's still young - just 28 - and has succeeded in bandbox Cincinnati for years.

Like another pitcher we acquired? With a clench your butthole start every game?

I've always thought Zobrist is more likely to return than Gordon. Similar players, but Zobrist is older and will presumably have less value for other teams.

Star LF for Cleve Michael Brantley had shoulder surgery. Out 5-6 months which could put him back on June 1 or later if he does a few weeks of AAA rehab. This is huge for us since he's the best player on (what I think is) our clear rival for the Central.

Not sure if this was already mentioned, but Cespedes got the gold glove over Gordo. Heh.

Opportunities for a 4-year WS run basically never come along for a team like the Royals. We have to go for this.

That's kinda my thoughts too. We are looking at a 2 year window...why not sellout & go for it. Keep Gordon & Zobrist. Sign Heyward. Sign a pitcher like Leake or Zimmerman. Resign CY.

Go for it!

Heyward
Zobrist
Cain
Hosmer
Morales
Gordon
Perez
Moose
Esky

That's a powerful, fast, athletic lineup that has a plus defender at each position.

Zimmerman
Volquez
Ventura
Leake
Medlen

Bullpen is still strong.

Go for it!
