I just read today that apparently they're planning to move the alleys in LF and RF at the K back to 390 feet.

For the life of me I can't fathom why they ever moved them in. It's not like the Royals have ever truly had a power hitter anyway. They used to have the dimensions as I seem to remember as 420' to center, 370 to the alleys and 340 down the lines. Because the Omaha Royals dimensions were the same. Or is my memory fucked up?

Didnt they originally move them in during the early to mid 90's when they attempted to add guys with a little more pop? I remember guys like Dean Palmer had big years in KC.

Finally something to look forward to after the miserable Chiefs season.

Sweet, I can't wait for this season to start. We're certainly not going to contend for the division this year, but I definitely think we'll be competitive and can finish ahead of either Minny or Chicago.
One player I'll be watching extra close is Banny. If he can follow-up last season with another strong year, it will really solidify this rotation for the future. |

Read that they are going to try Teahen in left field, and Guillen will supposedly own the right field job.
They also signed a guy, Brian Lawrence, who's a right handed starter formerly of the Padres, had arm surgery and missed most of last season with the Mets. Don't know anything about him, but he figured in their rotation for about 4 seasons and his career ERA is 4.19. Might be able to help. |

I'll be interested to see if Billy Butler and Alex Gordon can pick-up where they finished last year.

Verdict is still out IMO. We definately need Billy Butler and Alex Gordon to develop into stars. We still finished in last place in 07.
