"The Royals are the Clippers of baseball"

one difference...the Clippers made the playoffs this year and had an MVP caliber player on their team all year.

The Royals got a top tier prospect in the draft last year (Alex Gordon - 3B) and Billy Butler (OF) isn't exactly terrible but beyond that they are dead to the world both on the MLB roster and minor rosters. The transactions they made this year were just them picking up everyone else's trash...trying to fool people who don't know much about baseball into thinking "wow, they made a lot of moves this year they must be trying to get better". 

This year's draft is being touted as one of the worst draft classes in a long time. Last year was filled with potential all stars in the first round (Upton, Pelfrey, Gordon, Zimmerman, Hansen, etc) and this year I haven't heard of one player that stands out from the rest.
