I'd be more concerned about the cost of getting him than any negative effect he'd have on the clubhouse. I think the culture of the team is pretty established. Morales could be the Puig-whisperer. He doesn't really have anyone in LA to do that right now, honestly.

Wood.

Parra's DRS number is higher than I expected, given his poor defensive numbers last year. I guess that maybe keeping him in a corner OF spot would probably pump up his value.

It certainly would. He played more CF than he's used to. If we put him in left field or right then things would work out well, I do believe.

I'd rather spend a bunch of money on a starter and Zobrist while eating some of Infante's contract and dumping him. Colon would be better at second over a full year than Infante, Dyson better in right over a full year than Rios was. Of course we'd miss Gordon, but the upgrade at 2nd and right coupled with another good starter would help off set that. I'd platoon Zo, Orlando, Eibner, Dyson, and Colon. In the very limited time that I saw Eibner in AZ last spring he had by far the most natural power of our players. His homers where no doubters, while Rios and most others home runs where nice hits they weren't the absolute bombs that Eibner hit. .

What's a potential Parra Contract look like? 3/$27MM??

Anywhere from 2/15 to 3/24, would be my guess.

Was anyone listening to sports radio in KC this morning? I heard someone on 610 I think say that there were only something like 45 players on major league rosters last year over the age of 30 who could be considered productive players.

Did anyone else hear that? I'm trying to dig into that a bit, but I'm not sure I heard it right.

They were referencing a recent Tom Verducci article from SI.

New York is still hurting after losing the World Series. The New York Post ranks the best GMs in baseball and Moore is tied for ninth.

His UZR has gone straight down the toilet the past 4 years, incl LF where he used to be elite. Depends how you view UZR but that is certainly scary to me.


But it's better than getting killed on a Gordon deal. Please, please do not let that happen.

Who gives a shit if we get killed after 2017? The odds of us competing for a WS then are small anyway. I can live with a few down years while we struggle through a Gordon contract to keep this core together for 2 more years. It's the same concept as trading away valuable prospects for Cueto and Zobrist. Win now while we have this window.

Tigers picked up K-Rod.

Meh, we'll beat that guy too.

That is hilariously laughable...
