"I knew it would be a process this year, getting these kids up here, getting them experience, getting them at-bats, getting them innings -- knowing that you have a thousand mistakes to make before you get better, and hopefully, we've made a good deal of those, and we've learned from each and every one of them. You get to the point where you can compete, and you've got that experience." - Royals Manager Ned Yost on MLB.com (Dick Kaegel, 09/29/11, 'Royals will enter 2012 with great expectations', Source)
