He's just big boned, or perhaps big intestined.

 

Once he heard that they have fried chicken & beer in the locker room, who else could compete.

By my math, that puts him out til at least May.

 

This week, the KC Star did a re-enactment on whether to send Alex Gordon.

Of course they shouldn't have sent him and, of course, I wanted them to. I love that they went to find college players to re-enact it.

 

Hello K-Rod.

 

Pablo took his name too seriously. Ate a panda.

 

That was my thought as well. Supposedly, they had some interest in him for a set-up role before Jansen's injury. This just makes K-Rod more expensive.

Decent throw would have had him by a mile. The question is if KC was better off putting on the left fielder and short stop to make the play than trying to get anything off MadBum.

 

Ugh:

 

Bad news: Profar will be in arbitration by the time he's healthy and his value as a prospect went poof.

Good news: He'll be dirt-cheap, and besides that, the Rangers have Rougned Odor at second. With Sardinas traded, the middle-infield logjam is broken.
