What? Are you suggesting that 4/51 isn't worth $20,000,000? The guy is, was, and will be forever over-rated.

Say what you will about 2016-now, but he straight up dominated from 2011-2015.

I tried to tell CP this dude wasn’t coming back, but of course they wanted to go 3/46 on him. Sheesh Louise

Not even 3 wins. Yeah, he’s been so bad since the ASB he’s almost a replacement player this year now.

I thought you were done with fWAR?
Gordon’s contract is underwater and not coming out. It’s unfortunate.
His second half collapse makes me think he’s going to retire.
More interesting topics:
Bubic dominating again tonight (hitless thru 5)
Brett Phillips not in lineup for Omaha

Final line for Bubic:
Complete game shutout
1 hit (bloop single in 9th)
1 BB
11 K
He leads the minor leagues in strikeouts
Beginning to think that in five years, we might all feel silly for ever having thought Bubic was not the best of this bunch...

All I’m saying is, Alex was #4 in fWar(only cause I have sortable data) on April 15 with 1.0
Which means he’s been below replacement after the first 3 weeks. You’re right he is retiring

Bubic's last 7 starts:
47.2 IP, 1.13 ERA, 26 H, 9 BB, 60 K

Bubic is pitching like a TOR guy. He looks like KCs best pitcher right now. Hopefully he gets promoted soon to AA. How high could he get on prospect rankings this Winter? Top 50?

Anybody read Rany's piece on the Royals young pitching? At this point, it sounds like we've somehow bucked our trend vis-a-vis pitching development (by drafting college arms).
