Morales does not = Billy Butler. He's older, would be far more expensive (probably 2x as much in salary, plus draft pick compensation), and is actually and even worse runner than Butler.
Oh yeah, don't get me wrong. I'm completely opposed to any scenario where we add Kendrys and drop Billy. I was only hypothesizing a way where they could both be in the lineup.

Philadelpha just signed a 25-year TV deal for $2.5B. The Phillies are now drowning in cash.

I really hope the market doesn't crash before the Royals TV deal finally expires.

Could be worse. The Braves (yes, the Atanta Braves) have 14 more years of what is probably the worst TV deal in baseball. At least the Royals can get out of their albatross in 2019.

Well, 85 days until opening day.

It's now baseball season.

Well I get to meet all the boys again in less than 2 months. So that's a plus.

alnorth 01-05-2014 12:12 PM
well it was close, but my prediction that the Royals would win a playoff game before the Chiefs is still intact.

Please hurry baseball season.

Oh, and Royals, please don't suck.

Royals get paid more in tv money than the Cardinals. Let that sink in for a second.

I was going to say since ted turner owns TBS and the Braves that it really doesn't matter. But that all changed here at some point and I missed the memo. But really, when your owner is Ted Turner, you don't care about the TV revenue.

Ted Turner doesn't own the Braves anymore. I haven't seen the numbers... but the Royals really aren't spending that much less than the Braves. The Braves did almost zip in FA this year. They still do a great job getting guys out of their farm system though, so they might not need it.

I guess you're right. However, the company with the broadcast rights also owns the Braves. Therefore, the tv deal doesn't matter. It's one pocket or another.

The owner is a publicly-traded company. That makes a pretty huge difference vs a private rich (and possibly eccentric) owner. They have not been spending money, and have been falling behind their peers in the NL East. The company probably just wants them to be reasonably competitive at this point, but the Braves aren't making any big moves.
