Sometimes, it's best to put your frustrations into humor. While limericks are generally considered bawdy and somewhat blue, they can be worked to fit baseball. And believe me, this team gives me plenty of poetic creativity:

"The record's eighteen and forty-four

And they still must play one hundred more;

The pipeline is fallow

Fan's hopes have run shallow;

Arguing who should be shown the door."

So I’m just gonna say: I’m over MJ Melendez. We’re 666 ABs into this and he has shown zero progress. He is who he is. A player without a position who can talk a walk and hit the ball hard but for whatever reason just doesn’t translate it into production. Nick Pratto has been a revelation and he was always the one I was highest on. If I was running the Royals I would send Pratto to Alex Gordon boot camp and just make him the every day LF who can spell Vinnie at first. The other one I’m out on is Massey. Again, same production and no noticeable step forward. I know we can make arbitrary endpoints and says he’s improved but his triple slash is the same as a year ago and meh. I say get Samad up and see what he can do. But alas I’m just a dude with phone.
