Royals are #28 in early power ranking
I was expecting something a little higher.

I think you wanted people to get angry that the Royals were ranked so low. But some people, myself included, feel the Royals are right were they deserve to be. I don't give an historically bad team any breaks. For me to be optimistic with a team that sets unprecedented losing records they better show me before I start to hope. |

Nope, no one here roots for the Chiefs. Who would ever think of such a thing? |

Signings like Gil Meche are proof that Glass is willing to spend. Did he overpay? Probably. But that's what the market called for. Moore locked onto a starter that he wanted in the rotation, and Glass handed over the money it took to bring him in. I'm not saying one signing will put them as a legitimate franchise, but they went out and beat legitimate franchises for a pitcher by spending the necessary money to bring him in. |

KC didnt have the bargaining chips to acquire starting pitching. Ready to go, MLB caliber starting pitching. Moore needed 5. He could get a Bannister. He could get a Perez. But unless he was willing to run out Duckworth, Keppel, Bautista, Hernandez, Joe Mays-types 3 times a week, he had to get a FA. Lets look at the choices: Zito? be real. Miguel Batista? too old and pedistrian. Ted Lilly? Ok, nothing special. Gil Meche? he is the right age, 28, should get 5 effective years out of him. He has the right "stuff". Scouts have always loved him. It's just the matter of Meche delivering the goods.

If one of the big market teams wanted Meche badly enough, they would have paid him more than we could have afforded (and, by the way, it is very common for sports fans to use pronouns like "us" and "we" when referring to their team)(do you always refer to your teams as "they"?). |

I was born and raised in KC, and feel obligated to try to continue following the Royals. Honestly, though, I'm almost to the point where I start hoping the league folds them or they leave town. Bring in the NBA or NHL and give us a different team to follow. I don't know, maybe baseball's had its day. I mean, it's not a very exciting sport to watch. It's fun to follow and track statistics ... it's fun to take the kids to a game, but then again it's fun to take the kids to the playground. Cheaper, too. |
