Kansas City Royals - More Than an Afterthought

It goes without saying that the Kansas City Royals have not had a very bright history, with just one World Series title under their belts and one winning season during the past 15 years it is very easy for fans and enthusiasts to set them aside. Some people may then say that the Royals were originally a team that was put together in order to bring fans to the ballpark which is not surprising considering that the team has not been in the spotlight for quite a while.

But putting all that aside, Kansas City Royals is mostly comprised of young players, most of which have not had time to glue together with the rest of their teammates and as most people know the more young talent you have in a team the more potential can be cultivated and brought to the surface. Last year's record which ended 65 to 97 certainly doesn't seem like a whole lot for many fans but it is something that the team and fans can build on as these young players continue to gain valuable experience which could very soon lead them to greater heights.

One of those players that could turn out to be quite a surprise is named Zack Greinke. Zack is a 26-year-old pitcher who has won 50% of his games and has with a total of 242 batters, actions that were enough to earn him the American League CY Young award which hasn't been heard of in Kansas City for a very long time. This young pitcher accounts for nearly 1/4 of all the Kansas City Royals win's but the fact that brings a beam of hope is that this young pitcher is not alone and has a few buddies that could back him up during the upcoming season, some of those players are Luke Hochevar and Kyle Davies.

The Kansas City Royals pitching machine seems to be improving which is something very important for any successful baseball team on the other hand, we had Billy Butler was the best hitter with 21 home runs and 93 RBIs. Yet another important player to look after is Alex Gordon who spent three months on the disabled list in 2009 but since he is a top prospect many people have faith in him, all he needs is good health and the will to succeed.

With so many young prospects it goes without saying that the Kansas City Royals can become a lot more than just an afterthought during the 2010 season.
