Just goes to show how much losing one cog in their bullpen machine impacted the Royals.

 

This is the year for teams arriving "ahead of schedule."

 

So that means the Astros, Cubs, Mets and Rangers are advancing, haha.

 

 

 

Shades of Andruw Jones there from Carlos Correa.

 

Rasmus would have been a cheaper pick-up than Cabrera with more upside. Oh well.

Rasmus is the kind of hitter that would hit .220 for us with no power and be a cancer in the clubhouse.

The next question is why didn't Greg bet his house...?

 

That would have wiped out the whole rolling stop thread since he would have acquired thousands of dollars to pay off his tickets with...and make additional charitable/church/Ben Carson/Kirk Cameron movie studio contributions.

 

 

In the end, the White Sox are going to be facing a highly-motivated, desperate to get back to the post-season Royals team next year.

The Royals need to settle down. If they remain this emotional powerderkeg it will do them no good. Personally Sox need to man up and just start beating them. Sox's starting rotation is so much better than KC's. Royals bullpen now blows. Their window has closed with Gordon gone and Zobrist gone. They gawn.

Now can the Sox beat them head to head? Probly not.

MLB with some really questionable calls from NyC this postseason...calling out Gore wasn't nearly as bad as the Tejada situation, but still not clear and convincing.

Agreed.

 

Houston's lift and pull style of hitting makes me long for the old days of the White Sox.

And they're not going to spend any money at all this offseason?

 

As soon as they add Cespedes, Iwakuma, etc., everyone will be giving them the division. Gordon didn't even play for over half the season, remember? They had to use Dyson and Orlando a lot as well.

 

In the end, moves like Cueto and Zobrist didn't guarantee anything...any more than the A's moves that seemingly guaranteed a World Series appearance last year failed in the end.

At the beginning of last off-season when everyone wasn't sure if they would rebuild or compete, I was ok with Rasmus on a one year deal as a potential "sign-and-flip" at the deadline similar to what the Cubs did the past like 4 years. Sign a guy to a one/two year deal and trade him to a contender in July. All of that went out the window the night they traded for Samardzija and signed Robertson.
