They're at about the same point that the Chiefs are. Pieces getting put in place, but if everything doesn't go exactly their way, it's tough to win. And, unfortunately, it takes much longer to rebuild a baseball franchise, because you have to literally do it from rookie ball up. They'll get there.

I don't like baseball since the late 80's strike. No salary cap means a much wider gap in competition. That's why I like football. More level playing field.
With baseball the team with the big bucks will always win. I feel that's why the Royals aren't competitive at all. No money from the owner to afford big time players. I feel it will be a very long time before the Royals are competitive due to the money issue. good luck to them, but I'm ready for baseball season to be over. |
