Kowar and Lacy absolutely have ace potential. [Reply]

I haven't actually seen Lacy pitch I just know his periphals are concerning. Kowar I have thought forever ends up a closer, he's a 2 pitch guy but if that control doesn't settle he's a well bust. [Reply]

He developed a curve that was dominating AAA. [Reply]

You have always over valued power hitting which isn't made for Kauffman Stadium. You need pitching, defense and speed there. [Reply]

Ya know, we want our team to do well and it's easy being an armchair fan. But it's getting to a point where you are damn near an asshole about all of this!
I'm ( most Royals fans are too ) equally frustrated about losing as you are, but to act like an ass about it is just not the way to go.
Like you, I do not like Matheny as our MGR! But FO is not going to let him go until it becomes apparent he is not capable of taking the team any farther. With the young talent in the Minor's around the corner, GMDM is going to be patient to let that talent develop.
Face it George, this team wasn't going to contend this year! Next year is a possibility, but this team has to learn how to win and let the younger guys develop in the process. [Reply]
