In general, I'm "For" the idea of trading for a post-hype prospect and seeing what they've got.

But I think we've seen more than enough re: Pache. Dude can't hit.

He sucks at hitting but he's good enough with the glove he's a 3 war player with just that.

Maikel Garcia OPSing 1.3 in his four games in the minors.

I believe in this kid. Related to a long line of winners.

If he can SLG .450 at the MLB level, his impact goes way, way, way up.

Excellent defensive SS with 11% walk rates vs 16% K rates who SLG .450 in the majors are pretty valuable pieces. Especially if they can swipe 25 bags, too.

Quad Cities is where the eyes of the minor league system will be at. Cross, Jensen, and Wallace are there.

Nick Loftin is playing everyday at 3B at AAA does this mean they're prepping him?

Sweet, one of my Saturday games this year.

On pace for 23 wins. But I know we’re gonna double that at least so I’m not too worried yet

They’ll also not play every game against World Series contenders.

I’d still put the Royals at 70-75 wins.

They also won't play every game at home. 7 games at home to start the year and 1 win.

I love that optimism. I'm not letting the start get me down, but my expectations were 100 losses.

It'd be nice to hit some decent little hot streak,

I mean, I'm not optimistic about this season. I don't think they have enough to really pretend at contending.

I do like the early returns on the change of pitching staff, though.
