20 Games into the Spring. What will Spring out?

The Royals continue to roll in the spring. 14-6, don't say the record doesn't matter. It does when you are a Royals fan. Last night was a game that I was hoping to see. Francis goes 5 solid innings. He gives up one run over the 5 innings. The Royals super sonic spring O goes after King Felix and drills him around. I can get excited when Billy owns the King. He has and hopefully he will. Good win. Now the young studs have been sent off to the farm. You know the one, the one with ALL the great young players. The Big League team now will stretch out the starters and the position players get more AB's. Oh I'm excited to watch Frenchy struggle even more. At least he isn't Guillen. You remember that clown. One thing about Jose, he had stretches where he was very productive. I won't hold my breath waiting on that from Francouer. Gordon has started to "hit" again. He went on a long hitting streak. He got his average up. Then he wailed away and struck out three times against Felix. AG is a AAAA player. I have optimism but I'm getting kind of tired. Getz got a few hits. The offense has been better than any other in the Bigs. I would love to see them average about 6 runs per game. Won't happen. That's why this spring is so frustrating. The team is winning, but these wins won't really transfer to the regular season. Davies pitched again today. He wasn't as bad as last time. How many more years of NOT THAT bad pitching can this team take? Chen got bombed, Davies, and Francis did too. Jeff rebounded nicely. Who knows? I'm hoping to see 70 wins. Message board posters are calling for 97-112 losses. That sounds awful. I hope that isn't what springs from this spring.
Go Royals. Great 20 game stretch. Finish the spring strong, then spring into the regular season. 70 wins!
