No, not backing them tonight, can't back them for the rest of the year.
We're in evaluation phase right now, which is code for "let's play the prospects and see what we got, we surrender"
Sill very optimistic looking forward though, KC's farm system is top five, and loaded, really loaded.
KC got a lot of young talent for Benedetti in that NYY trade, and the other trades made last month.
We'll see, but former GM and now VP Dayton Moore is taking the same route he did twelve years ago when he developed Hosmer, and Alex Gordon, and Sal Perez when they were in Omaha, those kids went to back to back World Series in four years.
Dayton Moore is a genius with a low budget, sometimes (like this year) it always doesn't work out.
Sucks to be a KC Royals fan, but we're good fans, loyal, and here's the important part, we're respectful.
