[The Q]

I'll admit I thought the Royals were gonna be frauds this year.

I thought Gordon making a mockery of game 7 and lolligagging around the field with the world title on the line was their last shot (reference: What if Alex Gordon had hustled? | FOX Sports

I thought Losing shields would hurt (even if Big Game James is a clear myth at this point with a post season ERA over 5) and added on by the ill-advised moves of Rios and Morales (who were both really bad in 2014).

And it appeared that Cain's breakout was mostly BABIP based (2014: babip of .330 seemed to be the reason for his major growth), instead his current babip is .379.

Not to mention Yost basically lost the series by blowing game 4 and seemed to try to blow every series he was in. The team advanced inspite of him last year(also why did Duffy basically get the Strasburg treatment for inferior arms like Vargas and Guthrie?).

I thought the window slammed shut last year.

But now I think it's clear this is the last year of the window. They'll lose Gordon after this year, and cueto, so I'm ok with the price to get Cueto simply because you need to take a shot at some point. Yes the rebuild/retool will likely be harmed by this, but when you have a chance to take the title you gotta go for it.

I can't fathom not seeing a Jays/Royals ALCS. Which i think will likely be the most exciting series of the post season.

30 years ago the Royals knocked the Jays out of the ALCS. Revenge time.
