A decade's worth of terrible drafts has nearly destroyed this franchise. Just at the time when MLB payrolls began heading in opposite directions between the haves and have-nots, the Royals did a spectacularly poor job of developing their own talent.
These next 3-5 years could very well prove to be the turning point for the franchise in KC. If they draft and develop well, and have a good nucleus of young players in place for 2007-08 with more percolating in the minors, we'll be the next Twins or A's. If we crash and burn, I fear the team will leave town.
