Right. Johnny Damon and Carlos Beltran did not develop well in the Royals system. I can add Jermaine Dye to that list as well, since the Royals actually pushed him back down to Omaha to develop after acquiring him from the Braves.

They also kept Bob Hamelin in their farm system for six years.

Oh, and the Royals won 83 games in 2003 (which is five years ago.)

*The only player that KC has ever pushed up in order to sell tickets on hype, was Bo. However, in that situation, I doubt any team would have kept him in the Minors for his entire rookie season.

but travis burten, a random guy on a rotoworld message board, said he's overrated. Obviously we are all wrong trut.

PS, this debate took up way too much of my time on the internet yesterday and I have failed to update your ND list. Please check back tomorrow for more.

Burten...doesn't that guy also make snowboards, skateboards, and really kick*ss "I hate the world" clothing? Sounds like he is pretty multi-talented.

I look forward to it. Oh, and btw, I also have a personal jihad out against Notre Dame until Jimmy Clausen leaves South Bend. So, I have no qualms with them being terrible until...2011???

If you're going to resort to insults, at least be able to spell them correctly.

You posted this after midnight and I can see your date of birth. You clearly did not have anything better to do.

Neither of which is an excuse for calling someone retarded.

. . . so it's just a matter of time zone as to whether it was before or after midnight when you didn't have anything better to do I guess.

Beltran has only had 1 really good year, Damon has had a good career but not great and the Royals didn't develop Dye.

you more than implied that all of us who are disagreeing with you are either stubborn or retarded.

of course, that's under the assumption that when you wrote "your" you meant you're and retarted and retarded are the same thing.
