One year from today, we will not be hearing Kyle Farnsworth associated with the Kansas City Royals. Also, on a smaller odds scale, not so much about Trey Hillman either. |

Got a $50 bet with my dad that the royals will finish within 10 games of .500 this year.
Meh, who knows... They may surprise me this year. Posted via Mobile Device |

The division is so utterly bad, that this isn't a crazy bet. If we get another couple pitchers to step up just a little bit this year and if the offense shows SOME kind of life, there's your 72 wins.

Can Grienke and Soria pitch effectively every day? I really hope so.....
And I just laugh at every game the Royals have had this spring where they make this mad, 7 run dash to tie/take the lead. I just don't see where the offense is going to come from with this lineup of slappys. We have NO power in this lineup (and when I say power, I mean a guy who is a legit threat to hit 30+ HRs and 110+ RBIs). Butler is great with his doubles, but we need more than that. |

Might as well pay this debt off.

Is 10 games of .500 going to be 72 wins? Or 76-86?
They'll have a better record than last year if we can actually find someone to pitch in the 7th and 8th, especially the 8th. Even with a bad offense. |

If the Royals don't lose 100 games or more I'll be shocked.

The offense is worse, and so is the starting pitching--Meche is hurt(ing) and it's asking too much for Greinke to repeat '09, though he'll certainly be a very solid #1. I could care less if the division is weak because the Royals are, arguably, the worst team in MLB. |

Well, don't believe me. It's hard to lose 97 games. But maybe we'll do it again. But if we find someone to bridge the gap to Soria we'll be a better team, enough to win 70-75 games.
But who knows, Soria could get hurt, Butler could get hurt, 1000 different things could happen. |
