The Royals are a Triple A team in the majors. I don't consider them MLB.

David Glass is actually a well-known Cardinals fan. That's why he doesn't give a shite. Royals could spend a lot more money than they do, however he rakes in the most profit from his franchise than any other owner in baseball by keeping payroll low.

Royals also had best record in baseball after the break last year, I hardly call that minor league level.

AL Rookie of the year, way better than Michael Wacha, Jamie Garcia, Carlos Martinez, and Lance Lynn. Will probably win more games than Adam Wainwright.
James Shields > Adam Wainwright
Salvador Perez already has a gold glove at 23 and batted .292 with 13 HR's 79 RBI's and made the all-star game. Ultimately Perez will have a much better career than Yadier Molina and he is signed for 5 years at 10 million dollars total value of contract with a couple of options.
Eric Hosmer = Matt Adams but Hosmer will win a batting title, Adams won't
Moustakas < Cardinals third baseman
Alcdies Escobar (doesn't use PED's to win gold glove) > Johnny Peralta
Alex Gordon overall (best defensive left fielder in AL) = Matt Holiday
Mark my words the Royals will win 93 games this season :book marked: for October
Greg Holland >>>>>>>>>>>> Trevor Rosenthal
Just a few things to think about

I'll wait for the MLB regular season results before I pass along further judgment
Omar Infante > Cardinals second baseman
Royals Farm System = loaded
Cardinals farm system = middle of the pack

I know you're just being inflammatory with your posts, but the cardinals have a fricking good farm system.

That's one year dude, sorry but you guys haven't been relevant in ages and its not changing any time soon. Your ownership will never allow you success. IMO your only hope is to develop through the farm system but the Royals can't develop power hitters, and when was the last time they were able to produce a major league starter other than Greinke? I'm really not trying to be a dick, its just a sad fact that the Royals are the worst franchise in sports. one more year of Shields and then its back to 100 loss seasons.

Yordano Ventura #5 starter rookie throws ~102 MPH maintains through game in upper 90's, not even his best pith because his changeup and curveball have 20-30 mph difference from fastball
Kyle Zimmer (After all-star break, trying to control service time) Bruce Chen will be moved to bullpen or traded at All-star break
One top 25
One top 50

Most of the stuff you said is fair. However,
They are certainly in the debate, but I don't think very many would say they are the very worst. You'd be more accurate to say they are the worst in the MLB, because there are some very bad franchises in the NBA and NFL.
I'm a pessimist, but I highly doubt the royals will be in 100 loss form any time soon. That was a bad, bad situation when that was happening, and I don't imagine it will be repeated within 10 years.

He has great potential but you won't be able to keep him when he becomes a stud.

Don't get me wrong I love the Royals fans, you have to be loyal people to put up with that crap and Kauffman Stadium is one of the best places to catch a game on a sunny summer day, you guys deserve better, its not your fault that ownership had their thumbs up their asses for 20 years.

Eric Hosmer: He's going to be good but another guy you can't keep.
Salvador Perez (signed )for 100,000: Stud Catcher but his hitting leaves a lot to be desired.
Alex Gordon (best left fielder in Al): Never reached his full potential, great fielder but goes through long cold stretches, K's way too much.
Greg Holland (best closer in MLB, 8th round pick): Beast, I'll give you that one.
Aaron Crow: Former Mizzou Tiger need I say more? He has bad control problems at times and has cost you guys many games.
Yordano Ventura (signed for 50,000): Same as Hosmer.
Billy Butler: Never showed the power he was capable of, puts the ball on the ground too much for a DH, doesnt play a position so it limits his value.
Kelvin Herrera: Can only throw the fastball.
Jarod Dyson (5oth round pick:Good speed and gets on base but wouldnt be a starter on my team.

best defense in baseball as well. not the royals of old and it is freaking people out. yes worst franchise in baseball for a long time. things are changing for the better, the right people are coming back to help (Brett, Sweeney) for example. Ownership, while still crippling, has begun to spend MORE. Not a lot, but more is a start. Lots of reasons to be excited about future, as well as this year. Losing Shields is a high possibility, however with the strong bullpen, defense and young hitters still in tact I could see another solid SP coming to KC.

Wow, you guys are better than anyone else. What an amazing embarrassment of riches you have amassed.
With that lineup and staff I'll just go ahead and call the MLB offices and tell them to etch Kansas City Royals on the next 15 trophies.
I'm not even sure why we should even play another season, frick it you guys win.
God damned Royals fans. Get a fricking clue. The last time you guys won anything my balls were hairless and Madonna was hot.
We get it, we should all recognize that you've finally got it back together again after sitting on the shitter for the last 29 years.
You're all almost as hopeless as Cubs fans.
Know your proper place in the fricking pecking order, losers.
