Okay, young buck.

There's a video on KCRoyals.com with Zimmer talking about how healthy he is and how hard he's worked in the off season. I'd give him Hammel's spot in the rotation whether he's healthy or not.

One. (his rookie year)

He would be on my "Most Overrated Royals Ever" list

You fuckin take that shit back :-)

The Royals have completed their deal with Alcides Escobar as expected. Esky is back. One-year deal

Escobar deal is $2.5M base with $1.5M in performance bonuses based on plate appearances.

Quite possibly the funniest thing ever posted on CP.

Would you do 4/84 on SP John E. Qweddo?

That's what he's set to make. Would you take him for free, just picking up his salary?

I love Cueto. He came through like a champ when the stakes were highest.

And that's how I'd love to remember his time in KC.

Since Ned is sure to play him 162 games, I'm confident he'll earn that bonus.

Sometimes you just have to see a guy play. And analytics was around at that time and being used by a guy who lived 40 miles away from the stadium, Bill James.

But you go with your feelz there, chica.

Fml.

Makes no sense when Mondesi�s biggest plus is his defense and he can provide the same shitty bat as Escobar but with possible much higher upside on offense.

Royals have traded LHP Ryan Buchter and DH/1B Brandon Moss to Oakland for right-hander Jesse Hahn and Minor League right-hander Heath Fillmyer. This could clear some payroll space for a certain free-agent first baseman you know.

Buchter was decent and Hahn sucks.
Probably also sent some money to pay Moss.

Here comes Hosmer

As long as Moss is gone it's a good deal. He won't be taking at-bats away from Solar and Bonifacio.
