You know what... I hope that you're right ! I said what i said because Soler has yet to prove crap. Yes he will get his chance although he may end up as a platoon player or a DH. He also needs to stay healthy. Let's see what if anything the Royals do with Jarrod Dyson.
If they make some smart moves in trades and draft smart, they will be able to compete. Look at Cleveland. Same market size as KC, and they put the pieces together
They should stay competitive within their division although the Tribe should own it for for at least the coming season. Their starting pitching is something else....
Bubba would have been huge for them. But he is a huge bust. They need to avoid guys like him haha
Very good. But very unhealthy. Similar to the Mets. Keep near them until they fall apart
In the future, sure. In 2017? Ehhhh.
Well yea. 2017 is a wash for them.
Ohhhhh I know. You could have Jeff Loria though, so be thankfulwccards21...meet David Glass owner of the Walmart Royals.
Their payroll is not that low anymore. Top half of MLB last year.wccards21...meet David Glass owner of the Walmart Royals.
What you say about last year is true. The obvious plan was to get back to the playoffs and defend the crown...that was last year. Looking forward to 2017, it is obvious every time that Dayton Moore speaks that Glass has either leveled off or reduced the payroll. Most of the KC fan base see '17 as their last true shot to get back to the playoffs. Evidently Glass doesn't see it that way. He has never been particularly popular with the KC fans.
TBH Glass is smart if he wants them to do that, although if you're going to trade Davis and consider a rebuild, you really should tear the whole thing down and get as much back as is possible.
Let's see where things are when spring training starts. I think that there will be much more clarity as to the direction of the Royals by that time. Starting pitching not the bullpen is the real issue with the Royals. Yes Davis will be missed but IMO they have a better option in Kelvin Herrera. Lets hope that cards21 is right about Soler.
