Detroit's floor is still probably a few wins above where KC's ceiling is -- that's what, to me, is the most puzzling.
I have no problem with a team trading prospects to win now (the Brewers gambling w/ Sabbathia and Greinke, Giants w/ Beltran) if they're close, but KC isn't really close to anything but mediocrity. If that's what they're shooting for, it must be depressing as hell to be a Royals fan.
