This does feel like Moore's doing prep-work for a Merrifield deal. If we can get value from a Whit trade and nail the draft this year, our system suddenly looks a whole lot better.

Gordon, Hamilton, and Phillips would make for the best outfield defense in baseball. Sorry Boston. 5 million is chump change.

Whit’s trade value will never be higher than it is right now; 4 years of control left coming off of leading all of MLB in SB and hits. The time to strike is now, but ONLY if you get the right offer. You don’t just trade him for the sake of trading him.
Hopefully someone blows the Royals away . . . . |

I’m fine with the Royals holding on to him for another year or so if no one is willing to give up something good and ‘fair’ in value right now. Eventually (maybe at the trade deadline this year?) someone will try and meet the Royals asking price. Royals definitely need to slow play this one . . . . .

Hamilton getting on base enough to be a threat is as always the key with him...
But Mondesi should see a ton of fastballs if Hamilton and Merrifield are hitting in front of him (I would hit Hamilton 9th and Merrifield first, with Mondesi hitting 2nd). It’s an interesting roster construction. He’s not really blocking anyone at this point, so nothing is hurt.

2) SS Mondesi 3) C Perez 4) 1B O'Hearn 5) DH Soler 6) LF Gordon 7) RF Bonifacio 8) 3B Dozier 9) CF Hamilton A lineup similar to this with Owings, Goodwin, Phillips, and Gallagher behind them seems decent enough for Opening Day. It's not going to push us past 500, but again, we'll be incredibly fun to watch IF we get on base. |

Phillips and Boni have options left -- one of them is going to the minors. Unless they just decide to dump Goodwin. I'm a big fan of Phillips, and I'd love to see a Gordon-Hamilton-Phillips OF just for the D. Phillips had a good rookie year in Milwaukee in 2017, hopefully he can regain that after an awful 2018 with the bat. |

Really bad signing IMO just for the fact it will take away at bats from guys we want to see perform such as Phillips. If they are planning to go Gordon/Boni, Hamilton, Phillips EVERYDAY I guess I'll listen but I Don't trust them to do that.

Besides, he's only on a one year deal Even if you do think Boni and/or Phillips will be key contributors to our next championship run, with options, it's not like Phillips or Boni are going to rot on the bench. They'll get at-bats at the MLB level or the MILB level. It's just a matter of which for 2019.
