The Big Splash
The Royals were hoping to make a big splash in the hot stove league and they did but not for signing free agents: they dropped big Ken Harvey from the roster. As for additions, the Royals could have created more of a stir by passing gas in church than signing Doug Mientkiewicz, Scott Elarton, Paul Bako, Mark Redman, and Elmer Dessens. Look for a another season of Triple A ball in Kansas City.
