Pitchers and Catchers coming!

I've been a Royals fan for a long time. I'm 45 years old and I have loved baseball my whole life. I've been a Royals fan since 1974. Every year, including some of the recent ones, I am optimistic when it comes time for the pitchers and catchers to report. I feel the same optimism this year. The name of this blog is Royals and 70 wins. That would be a good season, IF, some things happen. I'll outline a few now: The "old" lefties have to be as good as they have ever been. Francis and Chen have to eat innings, but not just eat them. They have to be effective in the innings they eat. Butler has to continue to hit. He MUST improve his GIDP. That is a problem but he deserves to be the highest paid player of this bunch. He needs to hit 300 with 20 homers and 45 doubles. Those are great numbers and we all know he is capable. I'll cross my fingers and hope for 25 homers. If Billy is Billy that is good enough. Frenchy has to rekindle the fire he had early in Atlanta. If he can provide punch, 20 homers, then that will help get the team 70. The defense all around must be better. Escobar/Aviles/Getz/?, CF? Pena, May? The up the middle D is a huge ?. This needs to be GOOD. Not just OK, but good. Cain needs to beat out Melky. Cabrera isn't the answer. Gordon. That's all I'm writing about that topic. It is time. Every fan of this team knows that its make or break for Alex. He makes, the team wins 70. Bullpen needs at least one of the vaunted "farm" boys to be an integral part, from April. Jeffress, Crowe, Mongomery, I don't care which one/ones but I'm not buying the farm. They need to be up. I see Crowe as an end of the bullpen guy. He has great stuff. Jeffress does too. I just hope the only smoke leaving his hand is heading toward the plate. Need Young guys. I fully expect Collins to break camp with the big club. That is a great start, but Chavez, Texiera, are gas cans that can and should be replaced.
OK sounds good right? Get better than career years from everyone and the team MAY win 70 games. Maybe. They also need Moose to be everyday 3b as soon as he is ready. If he is ready April 1, then play him then. If you play the BS wait to start the clock game then you aren't a franchise dedicated to its dedicated fans. I need a reason to watch this team. Zack is gone. Gordon has struggled. Billy keeps me coming back, but Moose and Hosmer and Myer will be formidable in the future, hopefully.
OK Royals fans. The team is coming to camp. They won 65 and 67 games the last few years. 70 isn't too much to ask. 70 wins with at least 4 of the "farm" boys in the lineup on the last day of the season.
Go Royals!
