re: Can the Royals keep it up?

No the type of run they're on this postseason required a lot of pieces to fall into place. Had Detroit beat the O's in the ALDS I can say without a doubt in my mind we probably get eliminated in the ALCS. With that said if you're asking if we fall off a cliff, and don't compete for a playoff spot that is not going to happen, the roster is littered with talent, and backed up by a strong farm system. If the Royals decide not to retain Shields the $13 million coming off the books, and the possibility of another $12.5 million should they decline Butler's option be more than enough to obtain another quality starting pitcher along the lines of Jason Vargas.

Jason Vargas I wouldn't call quality, he had a great season but before this year was meh. Royals caught the right player and took a chance on Vargas.

I love Country Breakfast as much as the next guy but no way we pay him. (Nor should we)
Our farm system is legit. Even if we lose shields, like you said we will open up plenty of room for another key starter
