to re-sign our guys of the future when the time comes?

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the youth movement. However, if we are goign to go with the young guys, we need to stick with them as they develop into quality ballplayers.

I'm tired of watching the triple A team we have become over the years. We develop young talent, then ship them off to competitive clubs. If the plan is to build from within, they need to make sure we can re-sign these guys when their contracts are up!

Does anyone know where we can find the lengths of contratcs? I'd be interested in knowing how long these guys are signed for. I can live with this as the future of the club. But if these guys are playing for the Yankees, BoSox, Mets, etc. in 5 years I'm really going to start getting frustrated, moreso than I am now.

How long are these guys signed?

Buck
Harvey
Gotay
Berroa
Teahen
DeJesus

Greinke
Hernandez
Bautista
Gobble/ Snyder/ Wood

Affeldt
MacDougal

If these guys are on the team 4 years from now, then the youh movement is justified IMO. If these guys don't get re-signed, and are just developing their skills only to move on with another club 3 years from now, then something's gotta give. Whether it be a restructing of MLB, Royals ownership, or Royals management. Us fans cannot live like this. Please God, have mercy on our souls!
