Too early for Butler-Hos-Gordon but not too early for our middle infield. Uh, ok. That said I'll agree with you that both have been playing exceptional and are saving our ass offensively (defensively as well, Escobar is playing gold glove defense and Infante's range is much better than I expected).

We are entering May at 14-12 and the trio above have 1 home run. 1. As in, combined. That's stunning.

I nor you in those quotes made a comment on Butler, Hos, and Gordon so that isn't really relevant. Obviously they need to hit some HRs.

I am not sure with all the formulas but I just think the predictions for Esky, as well as your hatred, were being based too much off of a bad season. A 0.0 projection? Come on, he had improved every season prior to last season. A bounce back season is not that surprising.

We need Butler and Moose (showing signs) to get theirs over .700 and we can somewhat resemble the BoSox last year where there is potential to do damage all though the lineup.

I'd say Infante is the MVP so far.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't May devastating to the Royals last year?

Very much so. I don't see a repeat of that though. Our lineup still has little power, but its more consistent than last May's lineup. Plus, you have to think that Hosmer, Butler, Gordon will level out to career norms eventually. 15-20 HRs.

Yay, after 8 years we have 2/3rds of a baseball team!

I know the Royals are only one month in, but they are 9-2 against teams outside the division. In seasons past, we usually see a Royals team shit the bed against mediocre teams outside the division.
