A New Year

Well, Royals fans, welcome to 2009.

As the Royals roster takes shape, I am going to come out today and say that they will hit the 80-win mark. This is a preliminary prediction, and things can happen between now and then, but I'm saying they'll get very close to .500.

It's sad that we get to look forward to almost .500, but things are looking up from that string of 100-loss seasons.

Unfortunately, there's little to write past the fact that Japanese news networks are linking the Royals to Tadahito Iguchi as a possible destination for the unimpressive second baseman. Let's hope that's not true. Let's also hope that something happens soon that seems like a clear win this offseason.
