Oh I don't think the rotation is getting me anywhere anytime soon...but I'm working with what I got. I'll only make a BIG trade once we get closer to the deadline AND if I'm in contention. My team has been coming back down to Earth the last 2 weeks so we'll see what happens.

I hear ya...its def more fun playing with a small-market team and tryin to build them up...Actually gives u more to think about

[Rouchicus]

Yeah. I'm a really big Royals fan anyways so I'm trying to only do stuff that I think would actually happen. I could go out and trade for Orlando Hudson and Josh Beckett right now for pretty much nothing....doesn't mean I'm going to.

Well...I still haven't convinced myself against the O Dogg

My prob with o-dogg is that he would fit right in with the rest of the royals...no power whatsoever...another older singles-hitter type....u don't need another one of those i would imagine...your catcher gives u no pop...neither does your 2nd baseman, shortstop, or center fielder....frenchie? ehhhh.....i do like gordon...let's forget about betemit lol and i really hope u have hosmer and not kilahue at 1st...so if u dissect your lineup as a whole, especially since u say ur offensively-challenged, o-dogg wouldnt make much sense imo

[Rouchicus]

O Dogg wouldn't make sense at all, I just like him. The fact that I already have so many of that same kind of player is the main reason I don't have him right now. I started with Kila and he hasn't done bad while Hos is struggling in AAA. Like I said, kids gotta earn it.

Frenchie has actually been great for me so far with 9 dingers and 28 RBI, both team leading. Gordon has been a doubles machine and Butler has been AMAZING so far.

The main problem is power and actually getting runs across the plate as players who should be hitting for a decent AVG (Aviles, Betemit and Melky) have not been hitting well to start the season.

Melky is just wasting time until I decide what I want to trade him for and then make room for Lorenzo Cain who will probably be my leadoff or #2 hitter. Escobar, Butler and Gordon are going nowhere anytime soon. All players that I plan on locking up.

At least u have a long-term plan working....Would u be open to trading 2/3 of ur blue-chippers for a Cain-type if u was in contention?
