If anyone cares (I really don't), the Royals won the Cactus League. (SF would be back on winning percentage even if they win tomorrow) Royals finish with a 20-10 spring training record (10-5 home and away), which was about 2 wins higher than our pythag.
Spring Training records are obviously bullcrap, but it would be nice if this forshadowed something a little closer to .450-.500 than anyone expected.

Not only do I give the Royals permission to play this song at Kauffman Stadium, but if they do so during a game, I will pledge $100 to a charity of their choice. And if a player uses this as his walk-up music, I’ll donate $100 to a charity of his choice as well.) |

I wish I could bottle this type of enthusiasm for the dog days when this team is 15 games out.
Strange combination right now because it's an exciting year, but the team is going to be absolutely ****ing terrible, largely because the staff is abysmal. |

OP files updated.
The Royals apparently gave Robert Fish back to Anaheim yesterday, so we're only carrying 1 rule V guy right now. Barrera was put on the 60-day DL a couple weeks ago, so he doesn't count against our 40-man roster. Kendall is still injured, and Treanor is obviously not making the club. Take those two out, and I count 25 on the Royals web site. Looks like the active roster is set, though moves can still be made tomorrow. (I assume Treanor to AAA, and Kendall to 15-day or maybe a rehab assignment) 40-man roster is also set, given that we probably aren't going to put Kendall on the 60-day. I'll wait a few weeks for the options to be officially burned before updating the available options. I don't think Treanor has an option, but I assume he'll accept the optional assignment.

Gordon is in great shape and in the prime of his career. I expect him to suck.
