Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN Hearing solid reviews of the Royals' three-year, $25m deal with Guthrie from rival execs. They think it's a fair price, given the market.

Really nice trade for the Orioles. Get rid of a guy who is going to cost too much and will probably never be anything more than a backup and get a very talented outfielder in return. If I was a Seattle fan, I'd be upset about this. I wouldn't trade anything with power for anything that slaps.

southsider2k5 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/11/roya..._medium=twitter The Royals announced that they designated seven players for assignment to create 40-man roster space for players who would otherwise have been eligible for the Rule 5 draft. The Royals designated right-handers Vin Mazzaro and Chris Volstad, left-hander Ryan Verdugo, catcher Brayan Pena, infielder Clint Robinson and outfielder Derrick Robinson for assignment. The Royals, who are also designating catcher Adam Moore for assignment, now have a full 40-man roster. They selected the contracts of left-handers Chris Dwyer, Donnie Joseph, John Lamb, Justin Marks and Mike Montgomery, and right-hander J.C. Gutierrez in related moves. The move could amount to an early non-tender for two players. Pena was on track for a salary in the $1.1MM range as a third time arbitration eligible player. Meanwhile, Volstad projected to earn $3MM as a second time eligible player.

If not, I don't see him as a big upgrade to Peralta, and plus Drew has his injury problems. He's just like his brother. He doesn't do anything that excites you, but he's a pretty solid all-around player who has a tendency to get hurt. When he's hurt, he is't incredibly productive coming off the DL, and that's his biggest problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
