Can Dozier play RF? Time to move Whit back to 2nd and shit can Owings. Gutierrez needs to stay up and OHearn needs to stay playing at 1st.

Am I crazy for thinking that this offense will be pretty damn good next year with more experience and getting Perez back?
Fix the pen and add a starter and I think this is an above .500 team. |

Oh, and Hunter Dozier also leads the AL in batting average now.

Those stats about our offensive pieces speak just as poorly about our pitching as they do about our hitting. Good Lord we should be WRECKING FACES with that kind of hitting.

It's also nice to see Soler hitting the last couple days. Both him and Dozier are on pace to hit 30 homers.
We haven't even seen Nicky Lopez yet, and he's hitting well in AAA. Whit may end up getting kicked to the OF. Mondesi is on pace to hit 29 triples too, which is nuts. The Royals record is 21. |

So there are still some major holes on the offense, but there's also some guys showing real legit potential. The excitement is if you can eventually bring up Nicky Lopez and Khalil Lee plus getting Perez back, you might have a fun offense to watch next year. |

Dayton "claims" that next year is the year he starts making moves for the next run. We just have to live through this year of shit first.

Having Salvy would make it a pretty good lineup. |

So do we go for it next year? We gonna keep Whit until his wheels fall off, or trade him at the deadline for a great young prospect or two? We gonna extend Alex? We are not ready next year unless we fix the bullpen and get another starter, and let's be honest, the bullpen is not gonna fix itself in a year.
If our team was a bigger market, we could have kept Cain, maybe signed McCutchen for right field, and if Perez was here we would be absolutely stacked. Oh well. |

If there’s one thing this organization has proven, it’s that they can piece together a pen when needed. They intentionally neglected it this year. They were a little cocky and thought they could cobble together a respectable pen with no effort. They were wrong. |

With the pitching staff, they're probably going to see what they have. Keller, Junis and Lopez will be around. And they are going to wait on the big 4 of Singer, Kowar, Lynch and Bubic. Bubic is absolutely tearing up single A. I'd guess he'll be heading up to advanced A to join the other 3 guys soon. |
