This has been the debate raging in Kansas City, and around the big leagues for the past few years, and it may continue this year. The Royals just can't do anything right, and unlike perennial losers in other sports, the draft isn't a way for a quick fix. And unfortunately for Kansas City fans (if there are any still left) there may be no fix for this team. They don't spend money, they aren't bringing up great new talent, and they're wasting a huge portion of their team salary on Gil Meche. The fact that they are in the AL Central doesn't help the rebuilding process as they are faced with four other very good teams within their division.

I've gott adisagree w/ this blog's tone...while the Royals will probably suck this year once again, they actually have a bright future if they can retain their young guys. Shealy, Gordon, Butler, Teahan all have bright futures. Yes their pitching sucks but this isn't a sinking ship.
