Moore is obsessed with athletes there are plenty of 5 star athletes that never figured out how to hit. [Reply]
Mondesi is a career .251 hitter with an OPS of .699. That's not much better than Michael Taylor, so I wouldn't count on him to be a difference maker. And he's been known to go oh for a month, so....to say he's streaky is an understatement. In a week Dozier will be back to continue his pursuit of oh for fifty... [Reply]

He was rushed to the majors way too early. He's still only 25, and he's been much better the last three years. Come on, George. You're letting your emotions get in the way of rational thought today. [Reply]

The back of the baseball card don't lie. Everybody thinks he's going to be some phenom, but he's been all flash and no substance. Can't stay healthy, prone to weeks long slumps, allows his hitting slumps to affect his defense. So, unless he gets it together soon, I'd be for trading him to the NL and find somebody else as shortstop of the future. Berroa was rookie of the year as a shortstop here, and look how he turned out.

I'm glad a lot of you guys can remain optimistic. We might finish ahead of Detroit. Maybe ahead of the Twinkies. But I think this team is going to be hard pressed to win over 70 games. They just don't have the chemistry to do it. [Reply]

I'm glad the Royals weren't getting your expert analysis when Mike Moustakas and Alex Gordon were 25. Never would've won that World Series for which you waited so long. [Reply]
