Nice review in the January dulldrums. All that review said was everyone is okish….which makes me wonder. Should you go for things a little more when your team is ready to “go for it” or in a case like this….maybe you go for it now just because everyone else in the division doesn’t really seem to want it. Not really a right answer I guess, but if they can find another deal that maybe is uncomfortable money or prospect wise….I kinda hope they make it. I get you can’t control what other teams are doing. But it certainly looks like an opportunity. Just not sure the Royals have enough to take advantage of it yet.
I agree to some extent. The argument against it is should you mortgage the future to maybe win 88 games? So there's a middle ground, but if they believe the division is winnable, they should try to win it.
Excellent article, David. You offer hope without wearing rosy-colored glasses! I hope we win the division but I'm okay with the team making real progress in that direction!
Thanks, Erika! The only thing that could be disappointing with progress is if it's all from the veterans and not from the young guys, but I feel like at least a couple of the young guys will take steps forward.

"So you're telling me there's a chance?"
(insert dumb and dumber clip here)
and yes, I will probably end up predicting 80 wins after spring training
