	I really don't see them winning 90. if they can get to .500 i'd be happy this year. this is a young team with a lot of promise. just don't think they are there yet. Gordon is capable of hitting those marks, though i think he may still be a year away from really proving what he can do.

	Although I'd love to see it happen, it's a little bit of a stretch to expect it. .500 is realistic, though, and maybe 20 homeruns by Gordon.

	I feel that everything will come down to pitching. The Royals should be better offensively, everybody agrees on that. If Meche, Banny and Greinke all pitch like they did last year, I could see 85 wins as a possibility. If even one of them tanks, I could see 75 or fewer wins as a very real situation.

	I agree that pitching could be a problem. It's always a problem when you can't spend big money to get, and keep, a true ace or 2. However, if the line-up can produce consistant run support our pitchers won't have to feel like they have to pitch a great game every outing. Taking that kind of pressure off can't hurt.

	I agree it all comes down to pitching. Our offense has looked impressive and is vastly improved. This will not be the anemic offense of the past. Hopefully, with run support, our starters and bullpen will gain confidence and give us solid outings. That being said, Meche getting lit up the other night doesn't inspire much confidence. I'm very excited to see what this young team can get going with Hillman at the helm.
