Their system is loaded and they faced some tough decisions.
He’s also a position player who is still 3 years away from the bigs. That’s a risky Rule V ADD (but I’d still go grab him and carry him as No. 26 all year). [Reply]

I know you know all the bad stuff about Matheny, the arrogance and his my way or the highway approach to young players.
Have you heard anything about him changing? Learned from the firing that his approach on young players was whack? Real change not press conference change? [Reply]

How is it possible in today's day and age to build a system that loaded? From the perspective of a Royals fan it seems impossible. [Reply]

They took advantage of some teams in trades and drafted well.
They were handed Tatis for nothing because they took him when he was 17. If you are willing to take guys further away you can get better potential. [Reply]
@FlannyMLB: The formality of the owners approving John Sherman as the next Royals owner likely happens today in Arlington. He probably won’t speak publicly until the sale becomes official early next week. [Reply]

Some Pads fans are very nervous. It would be a great way to save face from the Cahill trade. [Reply]

Why wouldn’t the royals grab him? We’re not contending. [Reply]

The problem is Ruiz is god awful in the field so it may be really hard to stash him for a whole season unless you're a really really bad team that doesn't care.
Also the White Sox agreed to a contract with Yasmani Grandal...they're not to far away from competing. [Reply]

The problem is the Royals tank on accident instead of on purpose. [Reply]

Seriously, can you at some point f*** off about this dumb topic?
We don’t want to read this shit all year long. We don’t want you BFIBs coming over here every time we lose a goddamn game (which will be a lot) with your lame as Matheny bitching.
And I swear, Duncan, If you continue obliging this stupidity to clutter up the thread, people should start blocking you. [Reply]
