“Guys are going to have to break the ice; they’re going to have to break through this,” King said. “Slumps, you go through them. I’m sure some of them aren’t used to going through them this long, but they’ll get out of them. They’re going to have to. If they don’t, then it’s going to be a long year without those goals.”
