signing of K Morales saved about $2.5m and could turn out to be a good gamble player if he pops 25 HR. At worst he should pop 15 and hit .260...which is more than we got from BB.

Would rather get a solid SP over RF right now, I would be fine with Dyson in the 9 hole playing everyday.

Was sad to see the end of Billy's run but it was time for more value in the spot. I'm completely fine with Dyson being an everyday player for now. Speed en sech.

Rios has upside to be a good player again, and if things go to shit, could easily be moved at the deadline. What is concerning is the black hole for the #5 spot in the rotation. This team has prospects that might be up to fill that void, but I don't think they are ready until post ASB at the earliest.


I question the allocation of resources for these moves, it was one thing to sign a DH only player in Morales to the contract he received, but to sign a RF'er like Rios and ignore a paper thin rotation would be pretty damning if there were no other moves.


The good news is there's a lot of room to bounce back when it comes to Hosmer, Infante, and Perez- so this team is far from out of the playoff picture on opening day, but there probably needs to be a trade to flesh out this rotation. Maybe Dyson gets moved? Would better explain why they signed Rios while Dyson was still here- who truth be told, isn't that bad when he is just allowed to be mediocre vs RHP and not awful vs LHP.

Edison Volosquez will be a worse pitcher than Hochevar or Kyle Davies in the rotation, calling it now. He might go down as one of the worst signings since Juan Gonzales.

Then they rebound and sign Kris Medlen, not sure about '15 but '16 could pay off huge.

I think we got kind of lucky with injury attrition in the rotation until Duffy had issues towards the end. Medlen and the farmhands give us a bit of depth we definitely did not have last year. Went from really down on the rotation to intrigued this year; while very excited for 2016.

Just noticed Chris Young, last years AL Comeback player of the year, is a FA. Would make a better signing than Edision, a veteran, less money and potentially a much better season.


I wish I wouldn't have just found him

We have the best record in ST so far at 10-2, which doesn't really mean shit. But I like what we're seeing from the boys.

Yeah, it's nice to see. Waiting for KU to get knocked out before I get too interested in ST. I did hear Tim Collins is done. Should be interesting who gets the loogy job now.

Yeah, saw that a couple of days ago. He's young and should bounce back.

Nebraska and K-State sucked in b-ball this year so I've been eating up the ST to distract me from them.

Gordo is supposed to start taking live batting practice today. Hope the wrist holds up as expected.

well, he was there. Looks like they will have to prove the critics wrong again this season.
