KC is really going to be fun to watch these next few years.

They were supposed to be the next Rays-like team, took 2/3 from the Angels to start the season and are now 3-9. What happened?
Positional core is there, pitching is not. Sanchez has had a rough start I think. Might need to trade some of the offensive depth for another arm or two.

I agree with Hardball's point that team broadcaster shouldn't exactly dictate that teams decisions.NBC Sports / Hardball Talk: Ned Yost bans fraternizing on the basebaths bc of Rex Hudler

This proves once again, you can never put too much stake into prospects. It's good to be optimistic but hard to say that will lead to long-term success. Reminds me a bit of the Cavalry with Wieters/Reimold and expecting the O's to have more success than they have had with that group as a whole(and earlier). The Royals were even more hardly regarded playing in an easier division. Like I've said about the Orioles for years, I don't think the Royals have done all the wrong things, I think they've gotten a bit unlucky too in things not working out for them as they should be better on paper. Maybe things turn the tide for the Royals in a few years?ESPN Sweetspot: How Royals failed to become Nats of the AL

Position players, though? I saw an article (I think Monday) showing the Royals lineup from the day before and every single player was age 28 or under; the oldest player was Jeff Francouer, who should have been dumped for Wil Myers already anyway.
That team just needs to find some pitching somewhere. That's the most difficult part, but between hoarding prospects and making deals like Cabrera for Sanchez they've been trying.
