This team has had great springs before and then shit the bed. Hell, we've even led the league in HRs in ST.

That said, Shields is a very, very good pitcher. Don't let my disdain for the trade that brought him here suggest differently. Our rotation is definitively better with him in it.

The question is whether the team is better with Shields, Davis, and Frenchy than it would be with FA + Mendoza + Myers.

I'm betting the latter. However, this still doesn't mean that I'm not going to be ****ing ready for the start of the season.

P.S.: **** the White Sox.

It is just a hunch. I just feel like with the amount of talent that's been stockpiled, things have to start going the Royals way at some point. Maybe just maybe getting Shields pushes us into contention. I think our young guys being more seasoned is going to be huge.

I'll go on record, KC ( 95 - 67 )wins the division.

Look for the Royals to actually have consistency all year and avoid major losing streaks, 3 games max at anytime, only twice all year.

9-0 is an incredible way to start spring ball. What a great confidence boost. Hope we don't blow our load in spring, though.

It is, I hope it does not go to their heads.

Tops is 90-92 wins if we play out of our minds. I say 82-85 is more realistic if we play to our potential. 70-75 if we play like the Royals normally do.

I expect a .500 season anything less would not be acceptable.

.500 season is a failure.

You don't trade a premium player in Myers for .500.

We always kick ass in Arizona.

These trades have really deflated me. First Myers and odo, then Alex Smith.

I would agree under normal circumstances. These aren't normal circumstances. Playing .500 ball would sadly be like playing for the division. Now once that has been accomplished, yeah, time to take the next step.

But it would be down right awesome to see them just skip a step.

I'm not sure we know enough about either trade to be too upset. Justin Smoak says hey.
