BUt like i mentioned earlier, the Royals chose "upside potential" over "already peaked" But that column did say that Hosmer was being "evaluated". Which carefully tells us that the Royals are not exactly happy with him either.

If we were in 2004, then sure, this would have been a great move. But alas, we're in 2014, and Raul is just a shell of what he used to be.

he did belt 29 Hrs last year. Its a low risk, high reward scenario.

I'm aware of that, but taking a 41 year old guy is a high risk though, because to think he'll hit 29 HR's again is very unlikely.

What a load of pure bullshit. For one, he signed Jose Guillen to a $36m deal knowing full well he was a bad apple, but we needed a bat. He brought in Frenchy the same time he brought in Melky, again: because we needed some bats. Not because they're "nice guys". I doubt you can prove his acquisitions (on balance) are as you characterized them. |

I've heard him mention "he's a good Christian" or something similar to that 3-4 times when discussing new players in informal settings.

Oh, and an interesting update considering Vargas might miss a start...
John Lamb pitched tonight for Omaha and went 7 IP with 11 K and no walks. More importantly, he was hitting 93-94 on the radar gun. This was also against a lineup that includes Javier Baez, Kris Bryant and Manny Ramirez. He's on a nice run over his last 10 games, with good strikeout numbers and a low ERA. WHIP is a little high (1.35 range). If he can continue to get that type of pop out of his fastball, Lamb can be a useful MLB starter. He's got a good feeling for pitching, his changeup is good (and plays off of 92-93-94 much better than 87) and has a decent-enough changeup.

It won't be anybody. He'll have enough time to heal.
