If the young pitchers develop like we think, this could be a really fun team to watch this year. Love the move by Dayton. Not sitting back and waiting 30 more years to try and get some excitement going. Not just sitting there and saying "It's a Chiefs city now so we'll just be in the background sucking" [Reply]

It's also pretty clear they've been buying low on guys who had down years last year in the short season. Even then Benintendi's only 26 so his prime could be ahead of him. [Reply]

Lee is a nice athlete with probably a Lorenzo Cain lite ceiling down the road. Benintendi is better than that (not LoCain) already and is only 4 years older than Lee.
I'm hearing the Red Sox will end up with more than two players in the Benintendi deal. Could be as many as five. As others have reported, the deal isn't completely done yet.
