Yankees lose, but a guide for the Royals?

Well, if you live here in Kansas City and are a certain age, seeing the Yankees lose isn't as good as watching the Royals win, ... ... ... but it's close-LOL!! But seriously, in the loss is a the plan for Royals being a very good if not great team. Is the players here to go toe-to-toe with the Yankees? Pretty much, yes. If Soria has a good year, is the bullpen comparable? Yes. But where did the Yankees lose this series? Clutch hitting, absolutely, was a major reason. But look at the Tigers pitchers vs. the Tigers pitchers. The Tigers had the younger, stronger, fresher pitchers. So, and this is just my opinion, Dayton Moore, please stay with the young arms we have in our minor league system. This should be the guide. This is the lesson the Royals can take from the Yankees losing. Don't go out and get a 30 year-old plus pitcher. Keep the young, strong arms coming. With good health, Duffy can only get better, Telford looks like a fine 3rd or a great 4th starter, Montgomery is on the way, if not here, next year. And more arms are on the way, ready in late 2012 or at the beginning of 2013. So are the Yankees the guide? No, actually the Giants, and in some ways the Diamondbacks are. But they can show teams how not to win a championship.
