Hamilton, Owings, Duda, hell even Soler …..need to go!

Starling has been a non-garbage hitter for the first time in several years. There are no guarantees with him, other than he is stuck in the majors once they call him up.

Soler is on pace for 30 HR and a .800+ OPS at a very cheap price. Why are dumping him again?

Oh FFS. If you are not going to start Lopez out early in the year, at least wait a *little* while longer to bring him up. 2nd to 3rd week of May is generally around the time of the Super 2 cutoff. If the Royals waited until the end of May or beginning of June he would be virtually guaranteed not to get the arbitration a year early.

Still possible he misses it, but if he doesn't, and you bring him up a week early and it costs the team a few million dollars, or if he's a star he leaves a year early, that's dumb.

It’s almost like it was just an off-the-cuff excuse that didn’t actually mean anything.

.@codybtapp says on #TheDrive that Whit Merrifield signed off on a move to the outfield with Nicky Lopez coming up. "Part of the exhaustion for him was moving around the diamond. Now he'll primarily play in the outfield." #Royals

Flanagan:

We just had a conference call with Dayton Moore and he apologized for misleading the beatwriters: "It was not intentional. I didn't expect this to happen this fast. I anticipated end of May, early June, based on all the moving parts. But things change in a minute in this game."

If Bubba doesn't cut in the majors soon, he never will. This is year 7 or 8 for him. If he can't hit in the Bigs it's time to move on.

But bring him up now when overall expectations are low and play him every day. See if he hits.

That's another thing with Ned, no one plays every day. He's constantly playing with the line up and there is no continuity for these young guys. Dozier, O'hearn, Whit , they're all constantly in and out of the lineup and moving all over the field.

Basically 2 weeks would have done it and we could possibly waste a year of playing time for 2 weeks early.

It won't cost them the year of control - he's already been down the requisite number of days to miss his 6 full seasons of service time. Even if he never goes down again, the Royals will have him this season + 6 to follow (absent a non-tender).

The only difference this makes is that he'll be a super 2 eligible player and thus get 4 cracks at the arb apple instead of the usual 3. It could cost him a few million bucks but again - this is exactly the kind of player who usually extends early and that sort of service time consideration vanishes anyway.

My issue with Soler is his ability to stay healthy. He is probably at the top of his value right now. If the Royals get a decent offer, I'd jump all over it. I just hope he makes it to the trade deadline before gets injured. He won't be worth anything if he's on the DL.

Yeah, arbitration is a big deal for the Royals and I'm not sure why bringing this guy up 2 weeks early is worth giving up the extra year of non-arb.
