Kind of what I was thinking.

I’ve been worried that GMDM will resign Alcides. Hopefully this signals that we are moving away from him. I couldn’t believe that we signed him to the one year deal last year.

I had a friend who did this sorta thing with Andy Reid. We all bitched Fat andy was a coward on short + goals. My friend conjured up a theory that Andy fears loss due to the loss of his son to drugs and subconsciously avoids high-risk coaching moves. It all sounded sensible, we had (1) facts about Andy and (2) his coaching behaviors.
Then the last couple years Reid started gojng for it all the time when he had better players and shittier defenses, and the laughable theory went bust. You get the point. |

Not sure I have seen a shittier 3 page start to a Royals Repository thread. This thing needs a reboot.

So how does signing Chris Owings affect our roster crunch? We're now set at the middle IF with Merrifield, Mondesi, and Owings. I'm not sure I see a spot on the roster for Roselle Herrera. Phillips and Goodwin seem to be the options at CF. Cuthbert and Dozier are the two options for at least another year at 3B, although I suppose Kelvin Gutierrez could push for a spot at some point? Nicky Lopez appears to be blocked for the foreseeable future, unless Moore still possibly considers a Merrifield trade next week at the winter meetings or at the trade deadline?

I read recently (can't recall where) that Lopez is effectively ticketed for another year at Omaha, regardless of the ST performance. He's not on the 40 and there's no reason to start his clock at this point. I tend to agree. Barring a crazy haul for Merrifield from another team (doubtful) or prolonged Mondesi injury, we won't see him in KC until 2020.

And if they do get that Merrifield offer, Owings probably becomes your everyday 2B. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Owings get some time in CF too.
