The Royals...Already lowering everyones expectations

With the signing of Prince Fielder. Royals and Royals fans are already making excuses why this isn't the year we compete.

I think .500 is the goal. This franchise has had to climb a mountain just to get to that point. But I didn't think some of these guys would perform as well as they did. Still, some guys will regress this year... possibly even guys who will be good like Hosmer. Beltran hit .247 with 7 HRs his second year. What you're looking for is a 3-4 year window here in a couple years once these guys really reach their potential. That's what I'm excited about... getting Hosmer and Moose and Gordon all going full blast... then you bring in guys like Myers and Starling to take it to the next level.

But... if you can get a couple of these pitchers to truly wake up, like Hochevar or Paulino... then it's game on

All I'm saying is that it's past due for the organization to be held accountable for its win-loss record, something that has largely received a pass for well over a decade now.

.500 should be viewed as a what it is, mediocre

I am hoping for contending, but will be satisfied with .500 since that is an improvement of 20 games.
