I’ve jotted down a few thoughts about the Kansas City Royals organization, usually as point of comparison to the Pirates, as they both had a rough decade for similar reasons.  As columnist for the Kansas City Star Joe Posnanski has seen this all up close, and pens this 9,000 word post on the past ten years in Royals baseball. What’s most striking is how promising the team looked at the beginning of the decade, at least superficially, with one of the best young outfields in baseball: Johnny Damon, Carlos Beltran, and Jermaine Dye***. It’s sobering for someone like myself who hopes the Pirates may finally be turning the corner. *** Apologies for the watermark, but this photo seemed too appropriate to pass up.
