We've never had a what I would classify as a great rotation, but for what we lack in pitching this year I believe we will make up for by scoring more runs.

Dude you are delusional. And I'm a royals fan so nothing would make me happier. Who the frick is making up for Morales 100 RBIs?

Not to mention our rotation is so average

Soler will get his share, and Moss will hit 20 HRS. Plus hopefully we have Moustakas and Gordon the entire season. Karns, Herrera, and Strathm could be a solid Bullpen late in games.

Gonna need to hit the ball better this year. They obviously have the talent. Just needs things to fall their way and hope that the Indians and Cubs have half their roster get injured.

Or Greg Holland


He was out last year with injury. Signed as a free agent to Colorado this offseason(things you won't say often about pitchers )

The Cleveland Indians are going to have something to say about that. They made it to the World Series despite not having their #2 and #3 pitchers, or their best hitter in Michael Brantley. Plus the Indians have had a great offseason with signings like Edwin Encarnacion. I still think the Indians are the team to beat.

Royals are at about 15th most likely to win according to the oddsmakers.

Lineup is average, maybe a little above average if Soler pans out. Rotation is below average. Bullpen is good.

Seems to me that the Royals will be mediocre like last year.

The Royals' bullpen isn't the juggernaut it was 2 & 3 years ago. That's going to hinder them.

Loved Brandon moss. he was a great clubhouse guy for us last year. But i'll be shocked if he does over 22/50.

Also, that rotation is full of 3-5 pitchers

Yeah theyll probably be good again. But have fun watching Hammel give up like 6 runs in two innings and bitch at the manager for taking him out
