I like Schwindel. But, he made the team because of his bat. He had one hit in 15 at bats. Hope he finds his swing in Omaha and we see him later in the year when Duda is released or Solar is traded. [Reply]
Alex Gordon - Gold glove, seems to have found his bat. Should we make him a forever Royal or trade him at the deadline?
Whit Merrifield - Decent power, good hitter, good speed, good defense, plays infield and outfield, cheap. Would get you a haul back but he's a fan favorite and just broke George Brett's record. Can he be a part of a playoff run in 3-5 years or will he be too old then?
Jorge Soler - Bad defense, great power. A solid hitter with a few cheap years left on his contract.
Mondesi - Elite speed, great defense, developing as a hitter. I'm glad Dayton didn't trade him a few years ago when we were looking for one last run with Hosmer and the gang, I think he can be a part of our future because he's very young and no way would I trade him.
I don't think anyone else in our lineup is worth trading. I hope they don't package Ian Kennedy with a piece to get rid of the contract. [Reply]
