I've never seen someone so triggered over criticism of a shitty GM and shitty manager. Are you Dayton Moore or a relative of his? The amount of emotion spilling out from your responses has me thinking that you may have actually cried while reading my posts or while you were writing yours, hell maybe both.

Obviously I give a shit about the team. I sure as hell wouldn't be bitching every single night about how terribly ran they are. At the moment there is only one ****ing dude that I despise and his name is Ryan O'Hearn. This clown has a .653 OPS and -2.8 WAR between 2019 and today. Does this stop the Royals from playing him in RF instead of Edward Olivares, a guy that has a .739 OPS in 20 games this season. He's done everything he can, but is treated like a piece of trash.

That would be awful, but I’m afraid DM is just the kind of dude who will do that. Beni sucks - he’s got an ops+ of 94 and he grades badly at running and defense. He’s a 0.2 fWar player this year and was garbage last year. He’s hurt a lot. He has had *one* good year out of six


I’m sure he brings all sorts of leadership and clubhouse unity and blah blah. But he isn’t any good, and he certainly doesn’t provide anything from a corner OF

He has not been good since the injury in mid-June. I don't think they'll jump at an extension this offseason necessarily, but I do think it will be a consideration if he can stay healthy and hit like he did in May/June. If they believe he can, we may see the extension this offseason.

I took the liberty of dazzling you all with a hypo Beni deal. We know 2 things nec to do this: Symborski’s ZIPS projections and his cost per FA win.


1) ZIPS
2022: 1.4
2023: 1.1

2) Cost per win*
2022: 6.37m or 3.7m
2023: 7.34m or 3.7m



*He finds that a 1 War guy gets 3.7m per win. A 4 War guy gets 7.2m per win. Since Beni is proj to be the low bar, we get him the low contract.


NET: a 2-yr extension for 2023-24 should be about $7.5M total. Equal to his current salary and A pay cut from his $6.6m 2022 salary.

Pratto has also had immediate success at Triple A. In 19 games, he has six home runs and 17 RBIs with a 1.090 OPS.

Then there’s this note: Among 22-year-olds or younger in the upper levels of the minor leagues in 2021:

Pratto ranks No. 1 in wRC+ (160). Royals catching prospect MJ Melendez ranks No. 2 (157) and Witt Jr ranks No. 7 (147).
