Breaths of hope for the future - Lynch pitching like that. Bubic recently pitching well. Nicky Lopez looking like he might have brought his minor league game to the big leagues. Salvy being so strong. Santana and Andrew working out. Witt and Pratto continuing to look good in Omaha. In the end, we need enough good things to happen to become competitive and beyond. This was at least a week where the hope did not seem completely misplaced, and I am thankful for that.
Okay, in terms of a little dreaming leading up the the trade deadline this Friday, the Mariners want Whit and have the second or third best farm system - so what would a bit of an overpay look like - like when we gave us Sean Menea for Zobrist - do they have an extra great center fielder prospect who could join Witt and Pratto at Omaha - or some other piece that could nicely fill a hole on our next championship team? And it seems a no-brainer that we trade Duffy to one of the two or three West Coast teams (Giants and Dodgers) who want him injured (after sitting him down and telling him that we want him back, but that he can help us and him "bury a Royal" self by adding to our team with the trade - and what could we expect to get for him? California dreaming . . .
With the Padres trying to move Hosmer now that they are up against the luxury tax, do you see a scenario that fits the Royals bringing in Hosmer? I'm not advocating for Hosmer the player, essentially want to see if there's a scenario where the Royals get some decent prospects back in a salary dump.
