4/12 Powder Blue Royals-Twins Thread

It's the 2nd week of the season. Odds are the offense is going to get better, as often happens in baseball when the weather warms... and the pitching numbers will possibly drift back a bit. Who knows though. In reality there's probably not too much to change other than Gload at 1st. Guys like Butler and Gordon are just going to have growing pains. Guillen is probably going to get his numbers. Teahen has quietly been very solid so far. Gathright is stealing bases. There are a lot of pieces there to work with. But it's only the 2nd week.

But then again, if given the choice, I'd rather have great pitching and defense... that's what usually gets you somewhere, as any Royal fan would know by now.
