Royals GM Dayton Moore believes the Royals are in a position to still compete in the American League Central this year, given their recent upsurge, so they're not going to fold up to benefit other contenders. Moore is very happy with Gil Meche, and the starter has expressed a desire to stay in Kansas City. Though some say the Royals should trade Zach Greinke now while he's a hot commodity, he may be the best pitcher the Royals have, and one of the cornerstones in what is becoming a solid rotation. He's still 2 1/2 years from free agency and the Royals need him if they're going to compete soon.

I hope they keep both of them, and continue to move toward contention...if not this year then next. It's been a long time and the KC fans deserve a contender.....

They are trying to build a contender. Why would they start offloading quality starting pitchers?

This article registers quite high on the dumb story meter.

KC is a onetime great baseball city. It's the best major league experience I've ever been part of, which is saying a lot. I hope this team is in contention next year. Meche, Greinke, Hochevar and others are part of the revival.

Agreed......KC is a great baseball town. It's been sad to see them out of contention for so long.

I can't worry about "also ran" teams right now - the "elite" are playing head to head !!!

You mean the two elite teams the Cards beat 2 out of 3?

Had to do it. I couldn't help myself.

We'd be in first place if it weren't for this particular also ran team. For that they get my respect albeit grudgingly.

Great point CardsFan2........ and I agree with you on respect for KC. Those guys have pitched the Cardinals well....except for yesterday.

How about Ichiro for Greinke and two AAA outfielders Shane Costa and Mitch Maier?
