It's the end of the world as we know it... and we feel... fine?

2018 is a season of transition for the Royals, or at least it is at this point. Dayton Moore is back. Will he swing full into THE PROCESS 2.0? Or will he try to load up again and make some reload magic happen?

Pending Free Agents:
1B | Eric Hosmer | San Diego Padres, 8 years, $144 million ($5 million signing bonus; $20 million/year in Yrs 1-5; $13 million/year in Yrs 6-8 wth player opt out)

I'm with you. Let's see if Cuthbert and/or Dozier are capable major league players.
He's 18 months younger, on a team going nowhere. More athletic? At 1B? For $3 million more this year (and much more over 2-3 years)? I just don't see it, duncan. I think that's really weak tea. I think signing either one is a blah move that doesn't move the needle one iota, and prevents us finding out more, and sooner, about a player(s) who could be part of the rebuild.

But so long as we agree on that last part ...

They played an interview with Dayton on 810 a bit ago and he sounds like Dozier was going to start in the minors this year and then they would bring him up in June or July. Dayton said it was an easier transition with less pressure than starting from Day 1. I'm not saying I agree with that but that was his opinion.

My guess is that they try to trade or just dump Duda this summer and let Dozier fill those ABs.

Dude (Duda?) is a monster vs. LH, with a career wRC+ of 132 (84 vs RH). Since RH are like 80% of pitchers he'll be a fine platoon option which I assume we're going to do. Had 3+ fWAR seasons in 2014-15 before falling off.

Logan Morrison has one 3+ fWAR season, last year. He's projected by Steamer to do 0.7, in more PA than Duda is at 1.2 fWAR. MOrrison prjo 111 wRC+ Duda 116

Hosmer is a creer 111 wRC+ guy. Had a few down years but even 2017 was 135 which is what Duda does vs RH. (Steamer has Hosmer at only 120 in 2018)


Final note: a 116 projection by Duda 2018 would've been our 2nd highest last year, behind Hosmer and ahead of Cain (115) and Moose (114). Then Whit (105) and Salvy (104). If used vs RH, he'll be one of our best hitters.

You’re crazy if you think there’s a chance they dump Duda for nothing. You’re almost as crazy if you think anybody would give anything of remote value up. The Rays gave up a bottom dwelling minor league pitcher for him last year at the deadline, and his value is only going down.

It kind of seems like GMDM isn't interested in one either.

So does Duda just have to put his fingers in his ears and close his eyes every time we show 2015 WS Highlights on Crownvision?

With Dayton looking to replenish the the farm system, I think he would take a Single A lottery ticket. Although I guess you're right, why would any team want a guy with 30 HR power on the bench for a playoff run.

That straight up joyous cheer we gave Lucas Duda when he was introduced on Opening Day, 2016 was the stuff of legend.

That game may as well have been Game 6 of the World Series.

Jay Bruce was traded for a AA guy, not a top 10Indians prospect
