This is why all these "trade Soria/Greinke/Butler/DeJesus for prospects" articles are hilariously stupid. They are probably not paying much attention and used to the idea that the Royals have a barren wasteland in the minors and no hope.
We are far enough along that it is probably time to start counting our chickens even though they haven't all hatched and figure out what missing pieces we might need. If everything breaks our way, we could have a winning record next year, be competitive in 2012 with a chance at postseason (so some guys re-sign) and be really good in 2013.
