Royals’ Yost not making predictions
You won’t find Royals manager Ned Yost listening to radio, watching TV, reading baseball annual or even reading MLB.com to see what the so-called experts are saying his club will do in 2011.
“I don’t listen to ‘em. They’re a waste of time,” Yost said. “I don’t know what anybody said about anything, to be honest with you.”
In case you missed it, the Royals were champions of the Cactus League by winning percentage with a 20-10-1 record and had the best overall winning percentage (.667, not counting the tie) of all Major League clubs. The Giants won more games, finishing 23-12 with a .657 percentage. In the Grapefruit League, the Twins were best with a 20-12 record (.625).
