2023 – A new beginning for the Royals. Matt Quatraro era begins. A year to see which of our young players will make up the core going forward. Can Bobby Witt Jr become a superstar SS or will go to the hot corner? Will Brady Singer take the next step forward? Will Salvy be Salvy? Will Big Vin or Pratto take first base? Will they find a position for MJ? Who else emerges from the youth movement? Not to mention the development of the new downtown stadium.

We're trying to see what we have with the young guys and I prefer that over that dipshit Dayton's approach.
We already know what we have in people like Dozier. Also they should have traded away Barlow already. [Reply]
Even with the Royals putrid start, I never really make too much of the first 7-10 games. Obviously, if you go 2-8 or 3-7, you are in a bit of hole, but I wasn’t expecting shit this season from this team. There just isn’t near enough pitching, and absolutely zero depth in the offensive lineup. Just try and entertain me, please… [Reply]
Royals and Sporting KC seem to always come back from Arizona with no offense even though with Royals, almost always one of best hitting teams in Cactus League.
Team needs to do something different at end of Cactus League schedule and before opening day. [Reply]
The sad (one of many) things is that the only place with any talent whatsoever is the offense side... I think the pitching is the real problem. [Reply]

The thing is they ALWAYS seem to start in a hole. [Reply]

I was just hoping they might be competitive until training camp started. Looks like they'll have folded before the draft gets here [Reply]
