Teams with unlimited resources will get into a bidding war for Hosmer. My only hope is that DM trades him for a bounty of picks if the Royals are out of it. |

Cuthbert has really came on. Couple of years ago I thought he would be a just piece we could use in a trade to get somebody, granted he wasn't doing that good in the minors then. Now he looks like a part of our future.

In terms of 2017, we'll have a healthy Moose, paired with a promising Cuthbert and a nearly-major league ready Dozier. Bit of a long ways away, but the Royals will have a plethora of options from an organizational-standpoint at 3B and chips to trade for a solid starter come 2017-2018 if needed. Personally, I love watching Cuthbert emerge and it's awesome seeing KC win with homegrown players. |

The only thing that gives me pause about Hos is Dayton's insistence that he wants to make him a lifelong Royal, he's NEVER been so bold about any other player, not even Gordon.
I still think he's gone. I always thought Gordo (and perhaps Sal) were a better fit for the lifelong Royal category anyway. |

If we can add a legitimate #2 and a potential #3 for multiple years, then I'll be listening. Last edited by Chiefspants; 06-26-2016 at 08:02 PM.. |

Again, if we're trading Cutty, then I hope we can net a King's ransom in return. |

So about Orlando. Is everyone comfortable with continuing to roll with him in RF this year and beyond?

I don't either, but we need to get a starter this winter. And I mean like badly, even if it's a slight overpay. This rotation resembles one from a 68-94 team, not a playoff contender.

I know it's not apples to apples, but he's got 14 already: 7 at AAA in about a month. Guy has damn good power for his age. He's one of the few guys that passes the eye test and the stats test. He's a very valuable commodity now - maybe our most valuable on the team when you factor service time
