I don't think THIS requires a sub.

Clifs:

Last year he looked completely hopeless and overmatched. This year, he does not.

The hit tool has improved a lot, and if he can just be average or slightly below with the hit tool (35-40), Starling will be a quality MLB regular because of his power and defense and baserunning.

I don't think Starling is ready to be a star out of ST 2016, and I expect he'll struggle some at AAA when promoted, but he's come a long way. Basically, he's gone from looking like a guy who was so helpless at the plate he would NEVER get it, to looking like a guy who belongs.

That's more important, in sample sizes this small, than raw numbers.
From somebody who doesn't know much about the development of baseball players, would it be fair to say that his work in the majors might resemble Moustakas, who has taken awhile to figure out his bat and has faced a lot of ups and downs and frustrations from fans in his career thus far?

Every team is represented but I just thought it was interesting so see the Royals theoretical moves from the exercise.
That's absolutely horrible. I'd be very, very displeased with some of those moves.

Gordon is a lot like Carl Crawford statistically. Here's what happened to him:

5 years before FA: 25 WAR
Turns 30
5 years after FA: 6 WAR


Yes, his age 30-34 seasons have produced a total of 6 WAR. All for the low low price of $97 million. He's got 2 more years at $42 million left.

Yep. If you give him a 5 year $100,000,000 contract, you're hoping to get $100,000,000 of value from him. When the bet case scenario is that you get fair value, it's a bad team for the team.

Some how, some way, I will be there too. I HAVE to see that Championship banner raised.

We'll be having three banners raised on that day, correct?

No. They won't raise division or AL banners.

Only the WORLD ****ING CHAMPIONS banner.

I wish it would actually say that.

I'd still love the Royals to march the trophy over to Noah Syndegaard and shove it in his face.

Or, Yordano (assuming opening day starter) starts off the season with a up and in fastball:clap:

I completely agree with the point you're making. I love Alex Gordon, but if some idiot GM offers him $100 million, he should take it and run.

I'd be happy for him in exactly the same way I'm happy for Billy Butler and the $30 million deal he got from Billy "most overrated GM in history" Beane.
