The Royals were not going to compete this year, and this trade goes a long way towards starting the youth movement in the pros, that will be complimented the next 3-4 years by what Baseball America considers the best minor league system they have ever rated.
GMDM is doing a hell of a job considering Allard Baird left our minors decimated. Please look at the big picture before giving up on our squad. 2011 will be a rough year, but their is light at the end of the tunnel.

I said it in another thread... the thing is all of us Royal fans know he's going to go somewhere and probably get his head on straight and light it up. But there are fans of other teams that are going to say the Brewers gutted their farm system for a guy is a headcase who had a league-average year last year. Of course we're going to sit here and say Escobar had a bad year too... I guess that's how it goes. But there are people who think Greinke's Cy Young year was a fluke. We had one of them posting in the other thread.
