We absolutely should, but I don't know if Moore has the balls to do so.

I'd also say we should trade Duffy, but his crappy season and being overpaid probably guarantees we're stuck with him.

I still don't care what Jim Bowden thinks. He never likes anything the Royals do. Maybe he should do a list of best teams at skimming signing bonus money. That's a list that would have some merit.

I think Whit will be traded. If he's not it's because there wasn't a decent offer for him. There is zero reason to trade him for a couple of lottery tickets when we have him under control for several years.

It really depends how he is rating the systems. Basically every well thought of Royals prospect is in single A and there are some places that don't rate those guys that highly because they can easily crater. If he is valuing guys close to the majors that would explain that ranking.

Well obviously, but I see no reason why a competent GM can't pull off a decent return. Whit is under team control for what, another 4 years? He hits for high AVG/OBP. He isn't a power hitter, but I think in a different ballpark he can be a 15-20 HR a year 2B. He steals bases at a high rate. If Moore can't get a decent return for that it's on him.

That's true, but I can't recall anyone liking the Colon pick.

Said he'd be a mainstay at 2B, would lose value if he gained weight and went to 3rd, but unlikely due to Moose. So plenty of experts thought he'd be a Whit toe or, really, a Omar Infante

Colon was suppose to be the next Plácido Polanco.

Because I now live 25 minutes from Tropicana Field and haven’t seen the Royals in a decade.
