Next year's lineup needs to get much deeper, very quickly. Our window is not that wide. Salvy won't produce forever, and pitching staff window is one more year. There is no help coming from the minors. There are like seven wasted 40 man spots on batters with no business being a part of a competitive organization.
Lineup should look like RHB FA LHB FA Witt LHB FA Salvy Pasquantino Maikel Massey Isbel/whatever Witts career cannot be wasted by this organization, and they must crack open the checkbook next year. |

There's no guarantees but you could see someone like Gavin Cross next year too. Caglianone would have to tear it up but you'd hope he's a guy you'd see in the next couple years. They do have Witt, Vinnie, Garcia, Massey, Ragans and Erceg for 4-5 more years. That's a pretty good window in today's baseball. |

All the midseason pickups are free agents, DeJong, Pham, Grossman and Gurriel. Adam Frazier has a club option for $8.5 mil that I would be stunned if the Royals picked up. Renfroe also has a player option that he'll probably decline and hit free agency again. The Royals were also on the hook for $18.5 mil for Hunter Dozier and Jordan Lyles this year. They'll have money they can spend if they want but they also have a lot of spots to fill. Particularly in the bullpen and corner OF spots. |

Next season is going to really show how bad Moore was at drafting. BWJ fell into his lap, but all the rest of have been complete busts.

I think this past month has shown it. This is when the Prattos of the world should shine. Instead we have a 41 yr old at first, Pham, Grossman, Frazier, and Hampson playing in a ****ing pennant race. This is a 60 win lineup they are trotting out there right now.
