Does this mean Shealy's available?

When was he the flavor of the month on here? I wanna say it was two seasons ago.

Yeah. Shealy and Koshansky were two big names on here that people wanted.

Royals can start printing playoff tickets! Offseason is off to a roaring start!

Genius.

Trade for a 28-year-old (Happy Birthday, Mike! Seriously, 10/30/80) first baseman with average-at-best defense and no ability to get on-base or do much other then slug home runs.

Trade away a 24-year-old reliever with a sub-3 ERA who doesn't walk many guys.

Block a 24-year-old first baseman (Kila Ka'aihue) who Weiters-ed AA and AAA last season (and had a 1:2 K/BB ratio in AA. Yes, you read that right).

I think we need to have a segment of "Really? With Seth and Amy" to figure this out.

Let's trade Danys Baez for that guy then.

[Basketeer]

We should go hard after Kila Ka'aihue now.

[JTrea81]

Let's see if the Royals could use Hernandez for Kila Ka'aihue...

[NewMarketSean]

They already have Butler at 1B too.

At any rate, their offense is starting to look a little better now.

He's Hawaiian?

[BaltimoreTerp]

Not bad. They get a decent reliever for a guy who basically can only hit home runs.

Plus, they have a guy, Gaby Sanchez, who was their #10 BA prospect last year and looks like he could be the long-term replacement at first base.

[Hank Scorpio]

Don't forget Jeff Baker!!!!!!!! He's a Shealy / Koshansky / Butler type.

Would you guys have traded Huff for those two players coing back from the Royals?

[PaulBako]

Already an off season move!

[BaltimoreTerp]

You mean one (Nunez)?

Uh-uh. Huff is definitely more valuable.

Now, if it was Nunez and Ka'aihue, that would be worth considering.
