May 17, 200421 yr Word been going around last year that the kind of back-n-neck/neurological Sweeney struggled with can become chronic. There is a higher chance Jeremy Reed's wrists heal. Even after a hot streak, it's clear Sweeney power is ZAPPED.
May 17, 200421 yr Do you actually consider the Royals a threat still Definitely. Even if they are out of the division race, they can still play spoiler, and try to beat us to knock us off of the division hunt.
May 17, 200421 yr Author Do you actually consider the Royals a threat still Not if Sweeney isn't 100% Remember, they are missing Graffanino and Berroa just came back from DL in a horrible shape. Gonzo has yet to get hot and Santiago/Stairs can be dangerous when in the groove. Harvey is having a beak-out season. I am not sure if you remember but May-Anderson-Affeldt-Gobble have been pretty good in 2003 and was before fences were moved out. Sullivan and Lescanic are underachieving and McDougal just came back, Angels started out 2002 at 6-16 and won 100+ games in a much tougher division. If Royals get healthy and start clicking, their GM gets a starter and a closer at the Break. It's not inconceivable for them to win 85-90 games if they catch a break health-wise. I've seen weirder things happen in baseball. Which is why I hope they dig themselves a DEEEP hole and start selling at the Break -- we have a lot of games against them in August and September, so naturally I wish they be as weak as possible, hopefully rebuilding by then.
