When?
O'Sullivan is an absolute nothing pitcher in this league. He's a symbol of the 'old' Royals where fans and the organization would latch onto guys like him because they were young.
Nevermind the fact that his command is awful, he throws 89 mph and has no breaking pitch to speak of - he's young so he must have promise.
You'll know that the Royals have taken the next step when they now longer give a shit about the Sean O'Sullivan's of the world. When they're bringing guys like him in on minor league contracts with spring training invites and cutting them loose when they come to camp throwing batting practice.
Sean O'Sullivan sucks, but he's a good canary in a cage for the Royals as an organization. Once guys like him aren't prominent parts of your high-minors, it's time to actually get excited about the future of the team.
