6. Amos Otis, CF
7. Salvador Perez, C
8. Frank White, 2B
9. Bo Jackson, LF (I know his tenure was short, but he was just starting to peak when the hip injury happened. The arrow was pointed up.)

P - Zack Greinke (best SP in Royals history)
P - Bret Saberhagen
P - David Cone
P - Dennis Leonard
P - Steve Busby

Bullpen:
Greg Holland
Wade Davis
Kelvin Herrera
Jeff Montgomery
Dan Quisenberry
Danny Duffy (I wanted a lefty in the pen and Duff-man was excellent in short stints)
Jeremy Affeldt (became an elite reliever over the course of his career, and again, lefty)
Joakim Soria

Bench
Darrell Porter (but without the cocaine)
Willie Wilson
Alex Gordon
Alcides Escobar (need a backup SS/util fielding type)*
Whit Merrifield

I will not stand for Hipolito Pichardo erasure.
