So because I have an extremely pessimistic view on the team the next few years, and I'm extremely against the possible viewpoint that we're closer to contending than we really are, I should just stop posting or having an opinion? Are those attacking me too ignorant to actually argue against my viewpoints instead of attacking me personally? I have strong disagreements with people on here, but I don't think you see me attacking anyone personally. I don't expect a message board to be a beacon of intellectual thought, but I also didn't expect it to be full of mouth breathers who can't form an argument without attacking someone (ad hominem arguments).

Barring trades, injuries and additional roster construction, etc., it's not a bad plan to have Boni, Soler, Gordon and Goodwin occupying the 3 OF spots and DH. Each should get enough at-bats. Plus, Phillips has options and could just start in Omaha.
The current bullpen has so much to dislike, but I'm of the belief that they are sitting at about somewhere between the 2010 and 2011 bullpens...a few guys you're excited about (Newberry, McCarthy and probably Flynn...maybe Jason Adam). Outside of that, there's a good probability it will slowly over-hauled towards internal talent and/or trades over the next 2 years...much like what happened in 2012-2013. While not a sure thing, I'm bullish on our developing bullpen as guys like Lovelady, Staumont and Marte push for promotion, hopefully. There are also several exciting arms in the lower minors that could move up quickly as well. |

I've enjoyed watching the Royals a lot these past few years, including this year. It's a lot easier watching a rebuilding process when your team got so much out of its last two playoff runs. Having Whit and Mondesi up the middle is a big strength and something to build around. We still have a lot of question marks. We might be able to compete in a couple of years. Still, the product the Royals are putting on the field is watchable to old Royals fans such as myself, even with the baserunning mistakes at 3rd base yesterday in a disappointing loss.

The Royals affiliate Lexington Legends are tied 1-1 in the best-of-five South Atlantic League (Class A full-season) championship. Next game is tonight.
