ChiefsPlanet - Royals *** Official 2018 Royals Repository ***

Offense is bad, manager is the worst in the bigs and won't fire the hitting coach (who is so bad that players have to go to the minors to get fixes because he can't fix them), and the bullpen is awful. They're being kept afloat by unsustainable performance from a patchwork rotation.

Royals acquire: P Bud Norris, 2B Jose Altuve, 1B/OF Chris Carter

Astros acquire: OF Bubba Starling, SS Orlando Calixte, C Cameron Gallagher, 2B Johnny Giavotella, P Sam Selman, and P Jason Adam

Gio was too valuable to give up in that deal.....

So, I guess I'm ignorant on Bowden's takes. Not respected around here?

I should also add in suspicious bullpen as well, but I agree with your assessment.

He’s not a very good talent evaluator. There’s a reason why he isn’t a GM anymore.

Does anyone wanna bite on Moose' 22.7 option for '19?

That's quite a statement. Farm system is better, GM is better and manager is better. Buddy Bell is one of the worst all time managers in sports.

Also because he was investigated for skimming money from Latin American players.

I don't think he ever likes a move the Royals make anyway.

Dayton Moore can **** right off. Stats aren't everything, but every single one of these players is entirely unimpressive.

This is why Dayton should have traded everyone 2 years ago instead of now...

Did none of LeFebre, Hud or the producers realize that Salvy was telling those kids not to repeat his no-no words before they rolled with the full replay?

Might as well have put the option at 2.4 billion
