Apparently they signed everyone except the 19th and 20th round picks.

I missed only one today. Apparently Barry Bonds isn't thr .300 hitter for the Giants

Nick Pratto is a bit baffling. I expected a little more power out of the guy and a little less contact. When I watch him play 1B he seems solid but def war seems to say otherwise. Maybe hes scared to whiff to much cuz he doesn't want to get sent down.

I also missed by guessing Barry Bonds hit .300.

So Jim Bowden has the Royals trading Perez and Barlow to the Padres.

it seems like sometimes he goes for grounders too far to his right and then is out of position
He has made some plays the last couple of days though...very aggressive in the field
He is just holding it down for Vinnie, anyways

They'll just move him to outfield or some other dumb shit when Vinnie's ready next season.

Love Salvy but...... if the price is right ......it's time to trade him. Fermin and Melendez at C until the #1 draft pick is ready.

tk13 07-20-2023 04:22 PM

I'm just completely skeptical. Not just because Salvy has control over being traded but all we've heard for years is how Salvy is overrated, pitch framing, doesn't walk, etc. and he has a massive contract on top of it.

The Royals are going to value him more over literally every other team. This almost 100% feels like a trade where you'd get some decent prospects but probably midrange guys, maybe a top 100 player if you're very lucky, and now you've traded your best player for lottery tickets and the fans are more angry than ever.

No good player really has any value for a team that cant possibly compete for years. Anyone of any value that isnt young should be traded.

I also always wondered why bad teams even have closers. They literally have no value. Actually they have negative value because you don't WANT to win the close games.
