The Royals and the Twins are not that far apart.

If the fences were in, we'd be losing games 8-5 instead of 4-1. All things being equal, I prefer games that dont last over 3.5 hours, so keep the fences back.

So you prefer to watch our guys give up 6 runs, mostly walk induced while Belly Butler flies out to center field? I really don't know that you could ever turn the K into a hitters park. However, if we are going to keep the 1970's no homeruns style we should really just put all of the scouting, drafting, trading and free agents into pitching.

And, if you can get it, speed at the bottom of the order. Sprinkle in aggressive but smart base running and solid pitching, and you can get a lot of wins.

Yep, that would get you to around 80 wins.

I honestly believe that Willie Wilson was every bit as important to the success of the Royals in the 80s as George Brett.

Escobar should lay down a bunt every now and then.

There's no reason at all to believe we would be a better team with the fences in. All we'd accomplish is longer high-scoring games with about the same record, but not as many under 3 hours.

There are lots of ways to drive in runs. You don't have to hit 50 hr's. Just ask Hal McRae.

The best way to drive in runs is to have guys on base.
