True, but its not like there's no objective reason to be excited, given history.
The Royals are a lock to be declared as the #1 farm system in baseball next season. Not only will we have the best farm system in baseball, but it is arguably one of the best "#1 farm systems" in recent history comparable to the Rays a few years ago, much better than a typical "#1 farm system". If I remember right, of the last 10 or 20 teams (dont remember which) who were given that designation, almost every single one of them (only except one) made the playoffs within 3 or 4 years.
The royals are going to suck next season, but by 2013 this is going to be a good team. It is possible that enough players will disappoint to the point that we don't become a "great" team, but the Royals will be "good" at a minimum. We simply have far too many class-A and solid class-B+ prospects to miss.
(edit: In the last decade,
EVERY #1 farm system has made the playoffs within 5 years.)
