ZIPS projections out.

70 wins.

Dead f*** last.

Good work, Shermanator

And yet there is hope. Going into a season with the staff and front office we had i would be unhappy. But we are in the infancy of an overhaul. This is what was needed.

Then why on earth do you leave coaches you clearly feel are incompetent in place and not fire them during the season? Cal Eldred would have been gone years ago. If he was tied to MM that tightly then cut bait and move on. Why let the whole situation perpetuate?

I bet fangraphs has difficulty accounting for the unorthodox use of the pen. Probably undershooting the wins by 5-10% but still not great.

I'll hold my judgement till this time next year. If the young pitchers progress and sherm doesn't spend any money next off season, then ya, we are dealing with a chicken shit owner.

GMDM’s acolytes would have us believe they still needed more time. The month long crying about how we did GMDM and his guys dirty from national talking heads was baffling. You definitely saw a bunch of company men defending one of their own after that decision.

Yeah right, a fountain that looks like a toilet drain trap is so urban.

I like a lot of things but I hate beef liver and turds like you. Just so you know dipshit.

yikes, a .500 season some day will seem like a Super Bowl

Everyone that was responsible for letting that happen is gone.

Why you screaming, man?

Who cares. Baseball isn't about winning or losing. Nobody at the stadium really gives a shit who wins or loses.

Why not

That's an interesting signing. He's only 27 and been an .800 OPS guy pretty much every year up until last year where he did struggle. But he had a pretty good track record before that. Bounceback candidate, imagine he'd mostly be a DH though.

1B/DH

This team has a lot of those does make you wonder if they're open to moving guys or sending some back to AAA.

Haven't seen this kind of headline in a while. I've become accustomed to the Royals having no arbitration cases.
