The Kansas City Royals started the year with a collection of players to be traded, bad contracts to be completed, and a handful of homegrown and acquired prospects who needed to prove their status with the team. It ended with a group of young players who began to show some of the progress fans had hoped for.
So, where does that leave us today? To me, I believe this year will be about building the foundation for winning years to come. It could come faster than we think. Every year a team comes out of nowhere and wins more games then they should.
