Escobar has always sucked so not sure why you brought him up. Cain was much better than I or anyone expected, true. As for Moose and Hoz, both struggled early but we were going to ultimately win or lose with them. I can't say that for Cuthbert or Dozier. |

77 wins doesn’t get you the first or second pick in the draft and the Royals likely finish 4th or 5th in the division. MLB is set up for tanking under the current CBA. Trying to win while rebuilding is a fool’s errand. |

Moose’s deal would have been worth $12 million if he would agree to not watch porn.

I realize the Royals aren't going to win anything this year or for the next several years. I'm fine with them making moves to be a decent team instead of a historically bad team. |

I agree the farm system needs to be built up, but the opposite argument is that tanking is actually more difficult now because a third of the league is doing it. No joke. The Rays, Tigers, White Sox, A's, Phillies, Braves, Pirates, Reds, Marlins, the Padres aren't a playoff team. The Orioles and Jays have question marks. Then you take the other teams and some of them will probably underperform expectations. You could tank your team and still end up with a double digit draft pick.
