Meche might not be the long-term answer as the No. 1 guy, but some of you fail to realize the impact of the Royals hitting the free agent market, locking onto a guy they wanted and beating other teams --bigger market teams-- out for him, convincing him that Kansas City is a place to be and, finally, signing him. Did they overpay? Maybe. Did it take money out of YOUR pocket? No.

Though the make-up and star potential is similar to the late 90s (Damon, Dye, Beltran), I beleive the Royals are through losing future all-stars to other teams. Teahen, DeJesus and Gordon will be the cornerstones of a contending team in no less than three seasons.

This season they may very well be out of contention by the All-Star break, but just remember, the Royals are headed in very much the right direction.

The saddest thing is, in three years everyone talking shit on this thread will be on the bandwagon.

I disagree with Huber he won't be involved in future plans even if Sweeney goes down IMO it would be either German or Gload at the DH.
