Your Thoughts on the Royals....

[DeezNutz]

I would recommend lowering your expectations just a tad. Right now the Royals' payroll is around 60 mil. I've heard 58, but there are some folks on here that claim it's higher, so let's just say 60. For next year, not much is coming off the books, so this figure remains. A player like Dunn would probably cost around 15 and Sabathia is going to be around 20.

There's no way in hell, as much as I'd love to see it, that KC's payroll is going from 60 to 95 mil. Could it or should it? That's a different argument. Will it? No. So don't get too bent out or shape when we don't land two front-line FA's. If we land one, I'd be thrilled. From here, the baseball folks will have to earn their money.

I'd put a power bat first, possibly Dunn and or Burrell.

Yeah, power would be nice. But I might just about break the bank for Sabathia. That much talent from the left side? Whoa. That's a ****ing dream, though. I think Teixeira might be even more realistic.
