Moves like that don't annoy me it's a lotto ticket move and when you suck it's worth a shot.
However where my frustration comes is the Royals need to be making a lot of out of the box type of moves to strengthen the system and maybe find a few contributors for the future.
The Franco deal while I preferred Shaw isn't a horrible shot. However it would be a better investment if it was done so they could explore Dozier's trade value. Tons of teams want 3rd basemen without much left so you could likely grab a really good return for a guy who honestly has some wonky numbers that may say he is going to get worse.
Should have been all over that Cozart deal and should be attempting to do the same with Will Myers.
As mentioned earlier Wood Sanchez and Walker are all going to be looking for 1 year deals to try to re-establish value, take a chance.
One of the things about Moore that frustrates me is he isn't very good at thinking outside of the box.
