MLB.com writes that Royals manager Trey Hillman may not be able to survive a slow start to the 2010 season. "Hillman was general manager Dayton Moore's choice and he has been one of Hillman's most fervent backers. That said, this is Hillman's third year, and failure will ignite the usual "He's in trouble" rumors, founded or not. In reality, it would take a calamitous showing or an unforeseen split between Moore and Hillman to prompt an ouster. Right now, they're on the same line of the same page," writes Dick Kaegel.
