Not quite every category. No ROY candidates for KC, but agreed, it is awesome that we have a candidate in three of the biggest offseason awards categories. And with Bobby’s emergence, I expect him to compete for the MVP award many more times going forward.

That's awesome! Also, am I reading that correctly? We get a draft pick due to BWJ being a bad ass?

Perez winning the Silver Slugger is kind of a big deal because he wasn't a slam dunk to win like Witt Jr. was at SS.
Cal Raleigh, of the Mariners, had a strong case, too. Personally, I think Raleigh was dinged for his .220 batting average. As much as batting average has been deemphasized by stat heads, I don't think a guy batting that low is appealing when it comes to an award that recognizes the best hitter. |

OK. Looking through options, thinking about where KC, here’s my current high-level plan points: Hitters.
1) Sign Jurickson Profar to play LF and either leadoff or hit 2. Profar has really settled into the post-hype portion of his career. Switch hitter, solid defender in LF, can still run a bit, good all-around hitter who gets on base. 2) part two of this would be to acquire one more bat. I like the fit with Luis Rengifo of the Angels and would be willing to see them ship out one of Bubic or Marsh and pair them with another piece like Melendez or Carter Jensen.

It would be quite the haul to get him, methinks.
