Defensive Positioning |
All in the family
 The
main difference between this year's team and the losing teams the Royals
have fielded the previous nine years seems to be a belief in each other.
"The family atmosphere on this team right now is incredible," said Jeremy
Affeldt. "We all get along and hang out with each other. Last year we got
a little cliquish. But that's not the way it is this year. And it's fun.
The veteran guys seem to be reaching out to the younger guys." The real
test will come with the onset of the first losing streak. How will the
young Royals respond then? |
