Who in the division are they better than? Only possibility is the Tigers really, except they aren't better than them. They have a chance, not a good one, of finishing ahead of the Tigers.

Royals have a lot more potential than people think. Just because ESPN doesn't write about it doesn't mean we don't have it. We're gonna beat out Detroit.

Not if Skip Bayless has anything to say about it.

Kansas City Royals - 5th place AL Central
I'd say that's about right. In all seriousness the AL Central will be tough this year and Chicago, Cleveland, Minnesota, and Detroit have what it takes to finish over .500

KC is winning 73 this year. I don't think Florida will be able to do that. So......KC. Lot of talent in KC is gonna keep on developing....everyone is gonna be surprised at all of our good players that "seemingly come from nowhere" in the next two years.......lol. Also...remember the name Denny Bautista. By the time this year is over....he is gonna be very good.Edit: Also..I know you guys are going to love the 2006 Royals Baseball Thread that I am going to create starting on Monday...updates every single game/day...oh man....you guys are gonna be checking that sh*t every single day. It'll be legendary.

I guarantee it will be MUCH more in depth. I will be looking at a lot more than just wins and losses. I realize we aren't a good team right now..but despite what a lot of you may think...we have a lot of potential for the coming years..so I'll be updating that kind of stuff..not just lose lose win win win win win win win win win tie loss win win win win.

Ties are only in the all-star game.

"baseball needs profit sharing"They currently have a revenue sharing plan.From '04 to '05, Detroit, Milwaukee, Florida, Baltimore and Cincinnati all increased their payroll by at least 33%.KC & Colorado both reduced their payrolls by at least 20%.Not sure what the current roster salary line is for luxury tax. Anyone know what it is and if it's still taxed at a 40% clip?

Sorry it wasn't clear.The teams that were used in the examples were those that either utilized or ignored the added cash from the revenue sharing + luxury tax. I only used the '04-'05 numbers because the '06 Opening Day rosters have not been made available."Also...KC increased payroll this year and will likely do so next offseason as well...so..........."I haven't seen the '06 numbers, but I hope they increased.Last year KC ranked 30th out of 30 teams for total payroll ($36,881,000 vs '04's $ 47,609,000). Apologies if my math is off.I wasn't taking a shot @ the Royals, just pointing out a fact.

Oh, no, I didn't take it as a shot at the Royals. I was just unsure what you meant and why you brought it up...kinda out of the blue. But yeah, you're right...but this offseason we went up to about 48 million....and plans are to go higher next offseason if the right players are there...prlobably to 55 million or so..maybe even more.
