Moore should be fired for not selling everything possible. The fact that Jason Freaking Vargas could have been traded and a warm body would have been returned.....and he didn't do that? Should actually be burned at the stake by a mob of pitchfork-wielding fans
I don't see that happening those because of where their budget is already
And they are one Stanton injury or random decline away from being five games worse. You have to acknowledge he has never had a season like this before
He has not, but this was always his projection.... barry bonds, without the roids. And to be fair, he has been a 6 WAR guy twice. 2012(5.7) & 2014(6.3). Sitting on 6.0 right now
But to your point on decline/ injury, I guess that is why these GMs get paid more than us, to make these calls. Is the gamble of an injury or decline the best bet? Or is betting on a monster to hit 40+ Hrs the better option, but at a high price.
If you followed them this season, they had the best record in MLB for the month of July. Consequently Moore decided to hold his cards. Then August came and well... you know. They could have received a nice ransom for Jason Vargas in July. Boston wanted him badly. When Hosmer, Moustakas, and Cain leave at the end of this season, I shudder to think what the future holds for them.
Oh I followed. I enjoy the Royals. Was talking to a buddy about it, and he got pissed at me for even mentioning selling in July. He was ready for the world series.
They are going to be bad for a few years. It is going to take some serious scouting and perfect drafting. They are going to be the Phillies for a while.....
I hate to say it. The positive is though, I have zero faith in the White Sox actually running things correctly. They will crash and burn like the Mets. So that is one team you can count on beating up on haha
I think there's a philosophical question about the injury risk the Cards can take with a player who is 20% of the payroll vs. 10% of the payroll. And also for a decade vs. 3-5 years.
The real time to sell was November - March. Maybe May at the latest.
To be fair to Moore we don't know what the owner wanted here, but this team needed to make more trades like Davis for Soler.
Although the Soler move didn't work out.....thats exactly what they needed to do. They can work out deals with a few of the guys, like Moose or Hos
But to hold onto Cain? Vargas? Gordon(hard to move at this point, I know) ? Man..... that is rough
They should have sold Hosmer in July. He's going to get too big a contract.
Cain is a good player but how much do you want to commit to a guy who will be in his age 32 season in 2018 if you think your roster is going to be gutted? He's probably not going to be a part of their next playoff-caliber team.
Hos will get paid. Him and moose seem to like KC though, so maybe you get lucky...
Cain could have gotten them a few good pieces. Such a missed opportunity
Hosmer will go to the highest bidder. Moustakas is a Cali guy... I could see him end up with the Angels. I do think that the Royals have a shot to keep him if they want to pay. Cain will make a great addition for some team. I still shudder to think that we will become the Phillies... LOL !
It was strongly implied that David Glass wanted to go for it one more time with the current roster.
