Remind many how many playoff appearances the Royals had with Cone and Apes leading the staff?
Yeah, it was fun having them and Cone won a Cy Young, but it ultimately didn't get us anywhere.
Setting that anecdote aside, you don't trade a young everyday potential superstar for a young phenom pitcher whose arm could blow out and go craps anyday.
That's just bad business.
