Who thinks KCMO needs new baseball players on the Royals?

Unfortunately, with the Royals, the problem runs much deeper than a couple of new ballplayers.\n\nI think that the Royals need a new ownership group, or at the very least, they need a serious infusion of capital in order to compete in the American League.  \n\nThey will never be able to compete with the likes of the Yankees or the Red Sox on a dollar-for-dollar level, but they can invest in their system, and improve their minor-league recruiting and scouting.  \n\nLook at how the Braves have built up their farm system and the quality of young players they've been able to bring up to the big leagues, and they've won how many division titles in a row?  The Dodgers in their heyday of the '70s and '80s were built through their farm system.  It's when they stopped believing in their system and started trying to buy players that they went downhill.

Ever? Yes. This year? Doubtful. Dusty Baker polarizes his players by playing favorites. They will never win a title with Neffi Perez as a regular. They will start the season with  a rookie in left and an over the hill has been in right.  Kerry Wood and Mark Prior may never pitch a complete season again.  Greg Maddox is 83 years old. Sean Marshall is 12 years old.\n\nBy the way, I love this team and I'll listen to or watch every game. But, I won't have my heart broken by believing they are capable of winning a title this year.

What about Thomas Clayton... he's the best player on the team.  If K State will have any success at all this year it will be because of him.  Besides Meier's probably going to start at QB anyway.

I'm a HUGE Astros fan. Well, first, we're not in a hole. We're doing about twice as good as we were last time this year. I think that Roger Clemens would help, but I don't think that we NEED him. Our new pitchers are great. Buchholz, Rodriguez, and Nieve are all great. I think that Clemens would be of a lot of help once we get to playoffs or the series. He would bring experience to a team of rookie pitchers (other than Oswalt and Pettite). I personally just want Brandon Backe back! I miss him! He's sexy!! And a great pitcher, too, of course! \n\nBy the way, Brad Ausmus is smokin' hot!!! (To bad he's married with kids, right? Oh well, a girl can dream ...)

The Twins are done. They have no possible chance to win their division with the vast improvements of the Tigers and Indians, and you still got the Defending Champs in your division. The AL is a strong conference. You can look at the east, the west and you see major improvements from teams like the blue jays, seattle, and you still got the incubent powerhouses like the red sox, yankees, angels, and the athetics. they wont have a shot at the wild card either. As far as Liriano goes, they better put him in the rotation. He is the best pitching prospect today, even better than King Felix. Scott Baker is not doing a good job in the fifth spot of the rotation so i think they should let Liriano do what he can do!

Yea. They should try getting one of the many free agents, maybe Alfonso Soriano? He has speed, defense, and power!

Sure Thing...\n\n1)  The Kansas City Royals will NOT win the World Series.

I think they should start of with signing Glavine, it appears that he wants to finish his career there and they can get him for a discount. Also i think Drew might be interested in returning there. They need a lead-off hitter, maybe trade for Podsednik or Figgins.

They need to play smallball and trade away some of their high cost power hitters. They need players like Scott Rolen that can play good Defense and get timely hits to the gaps. Their pitching is OK, but could use another starter or a long reliever to eat innings.

C'mon. Can we tame the excitement just a hair. I like Alay too, I'm originally from Cuba. But the guy is 2-1 in 6 Starts. Please chill. Prince Fielder ( .298 BA 14 HR 40 RBI 35 R 5 SB) is out there in the NL. Hanley Ramirez (.262 BA 3 HR 20 RBI 53 R 20 SB). Ryan Zimmerman (.274 BA 10 HR 46 RBI 37 R 5 SB) Dan Uggla .313 BA 13 HR 43 RBI 49 R 4 SB). Plus they've all been starters on their teams since opening day. All or any of these guys are far more deserving of the NL Rookie of the Year.

It is too late for this season.  They need to get rid of Prior and Wood and get some more young pitchers you don't get hurt.  They then need to quit going out and signing free agent who were good 5 years ago (Nevin, Burnitz, Womack, Mabry are all examples of this).  They also need a more consistent bullpen.  I sadly think our beloved Cubs are on their way back down after hitting a "peak" in 03-04.

You mean you haven't sold your loyalty like the guy on Ebay? :) I like the Royals. They have a bunch of hardworking young guys (DeJesus, Greinke), but it's just unfortunate that all their good players (aformentioned included) are on the DL.

smoltz and kent are already in. smoltz has better credentials than dennis eckersly(both were great starters and closers) whose already in. kent is already all-time leader in hr by 2nd basemen. other than that i agree with your list.

It looks like it. This is a team to look out for. Manager Jim Leyland has this bunch playing exceptionally well. They are defensively sound and they have one of the better signal callers in the game behind the plate (Ivan Rodriguez) working with those young arms. Im not surprised by their start, Im more suprised they have sustained their momentum a month into the season.

Its probably going to be moved to Las Vegas or Portland, much like the Florida Marlins if they move. \n\nEven tho I live in NC and would love to see a MLB team here. SC NC VA and TN are minor league baseball country, and thats never going to change. \n\nI think however that the Royals will stay in KC. Too much heritage there with Brett and Co.

They are very interested in Carlos Lee and he is interested in going to Houston. (Same reason Clemens and Pettite came, he lives nearby).  Houston is interested in Alfonso Soriano and possibly Gary Matthews Jr..  We want pitching since we are only guaranteed Oswalt as a veteran pitcher next season.  Look for veteran pitchers who are affordable, possibly Woody Williams (also lives near Houston).  So hopefully we get Pettite and Lee.  Those are the two most likely free agents I see coming.  \n\n1B-Berkman\n2B-Biggio/Burke\nSS-Everett\n3B-?(Ensberg trade possibility, not sure if Huff will re-sign)\nOF-Lee/Taveras/Scott?\nC-Ausmus/Quintero? (Astros are looking for better hitting backup catcher, possible starter)\n\nSounds pretty good to me.  As long as Scott and Berkman along with Lee can keep doing what they did last season and with the defense (best in MLB) and good starting pitching, we've got a good shot,
