I was at game seven of the 1985 series. I know what it's like to win it all. It's the best.
Might as well start following Moses around in the desert.....

I'm not saying "Be Patient" long-term anymore (2013 has been the contention point, based on the way Moore was building it, all along). I said at the time of the Myers trade that it reduced any leash to almost nil, and they needed to make the playoffs this year or next.
I'm saying that two weeks into a season is not the time to decide a young player needs to be sent down. That in no sport is small sample size more prone to lying than baseball.
There's a difference between saying "Chill, we're not even 1/8 of the way into the season" and "chill, we'll win eventually. Maybe in three more years."
Re: Irving Falu. I don't get the appeal (Not just here, but among Royals fans in general). He's a decent UTIL player and would be a nice option off the bench. Especially if they do the smart thing and send Getz down. But he shouldn't be a starter or considered as a starter. Johnson at least offers elite D at 2B. Falu really can't offer that.
