First off, you couldn't have actually believed that the Royals were going anywhere but downhill. I'll admit that Pena allows for a small glimmer of hope, but not much else on the team did. Mike Sweeney slides further downhill every year, and the trading of Carlos Beltran doomed the Royals for years to come. At this point, the Royals find themselves in the same position as the post World Series victory Marlins did; rebuilding. If done right, the Royals can build themselves back up to major contender statues by the 2008 season. However, trading for Benito Santiago and Juan Gonzalez (Who boast the combined age of Rome), is not the way to do it.
