    KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)   Bubba Starling says it’s great to be a Kansas City Royal and be relieved of the pressure of deciding between football and baseball.  The three-sport high school star from Gardner-Edgerton, appeared at his first news conference in Kauffman Stadium on Wednesday, about 42 hours after agreeing to give up a football scholarship at Nebraska.  In return, he was given a $7.5 million bonus by the Royals, who drafted him No. 5 overall in June.   The power-hitting outfielder said being from the Kansas City area and growing up a Royals fan made his decision at least a bit easier.  He said he can’t wait to get to the Royals’ instructors in Arizona and start working on his game.
