Royals essentially need to find their Carl/Marty combo.
I think what's left out of the "Braves way" equation is that the Braves didn't just rely on young kids from their system. Yes, there were a lot of those.

But the Braves also signed Sid Bream and Terry Pendleton as free agents to help supplement the young position talent. They brought in John Smoltz via a very shrewd (and lucky - was done before Schuerholz got there) trade. And they made good acquisitions/signings as time went on (Fred McGriff... Greg Maddux... etc).
