If the Royals can manage that and then build off it, I see no reason why they couldn't at least compete for a playoff spot next year. Expecting them to compete for a playoff spot this year might be a bit unrealistic perhaps......having said that, crazier things have happened in baseball. We shall see.....we've already seen glimpses, now they just need to be more consistent is all.

I can tell you why most fans have crazy expectations of this team. The Royals slogan for starters and the amount of air time it keeps getting. You don't make the slogan "our time" without some serious repercussions if it doesn't work out.
Personally, I don't mind .500 ball as long as we're respectable in most every area and have a few DESERVING all-stars for once.
