My problem is history says we cannot afford all of them. Every time we are in this situation we pick one or the other...Sweeney or Beltran was the perfect example. Sure things have changed and we now have two $12M players but keeping a guy like Greinke in his prime could cost $15 - $20M a year and I just don't see the Royals paying that price. Until the owners show me they are committed to winning and building our team I remain skeptical.
