Miner, Abreu and Hottovy have big league experience, though only Hottovy appeared in the Major Leagues this past season. Duncan, once a highly-regarded prospect, posted a .849 OPS at Double-A as a utility player in 2011. Romak posted an .803 OPS for the Royals in 2011 and even pitched on two occasions.
Salt n peppa like the Schoop signing!
Brandon Moss…the Brandon Moss of the MLB
Wish the best to Moss, hope he finally makes something of himself.
If there’s any place Moss has a shot of cracking an OF or bench spot, its gotta be Oakland.
I know it was mentioned in a link, but I should point out that Kg and the Professors podcast is the best baseball podcast around.
good signing by the jays, mock has some pretty good stuff, just needs to be more consistent
Mock is absolutly terrible, he never did anything for the Nats and id be willing to bet a large amount of money that he never does anything worthwhile in the majors ever.
Im pretty sure most nats fan agree with me. good riddance.
Holy crap! Sign enough people Royals?
