Congrats on the Hillman Hire...

I wanted to congratulate you guys on a great hire in Trey Hillman.  With Dayton Moore and Hillman, I see a bright future for the Royals.  Yeah, I'm a Rangers fan, but I may have to become a Royals fan.  I need a new ballcap anyway.  

I think a lot of our Ranger fans were excited about the prospects of Hillman being hired to be the Rangers manager, but ultimately we got Ron Washington instead.  Wash has hit some bumps, but is trying to learn on the job.  I believe Hillman
will have a much quicker learning curve and I expect to see the Royals in the playoffs in the next few years.

Again...congrats!

Here's a couple of posts on Lone Star Ball about Hillman prior to the hiring of Ron Washington:
