It might be more like 2021-23 at this point but who knows. They'll certainly have more money to spend as a lot of the huge contracts will be gone after next year.
The theory being that some of these highly thought of prospects in A ball would be coming up by 2021. Only problem is the hitters have all been catastrophically awful except for Isbel. You might see 2-3 of the big 4 pitchers by then though. Add in a guy like Khalil Lee maybe... then you already have Mondesi, Whit, Dozier. It's something. Who knows what happens with Salvy or Soler by that point. They will have more money to spend so maybe they can extend some guys. They basically haven't tied themselves down to anyone after 2021 besides Whit, and he's only going to make about $2 million that year because they front loaded his deal. |

I just think it's pretty tough to legitimately expect a winning "window" when it is based on guys in A ball and other guys who aren't even in the organization. They're all a long ways away from even making the bigs, let alone being stars who can lead the team to WS contention. |

One bright spot as well is our team looks like they don't drink Budwieser and eat chips all day. Most the guys actually look like athletes.

So at some point do the Royals admit that Ryan O'Hearn is not a MLB player...

He may not be but he’s probably earned(based on last year)a bit more than 2 months of struggles before they pull the plug. Also, he did have 2 hits last night which is worlds better than a certain player who went 0-4 with 4 K’s who definitely needs to be given up on.

I think as long as his exit velocity remains strong, they will continue giving him some leash, I think. His exit velocity and hard hit rate suggest quite a bit of bad luck. If his approach stays sound and he continues to hit the ball hard, I say keep giving him ABs. |
