Our starting pitching obviously has a lot of question marks, but we also have a lot of depth to address them as the season plays out. That's very important in making it to the postseason and we've seen before what a hot streak can do for you once you get there.
Hasn't their also been a lot of chatter about aces in the post season and how they are overrated? I don't agree with most of that, but there are just as many failed stories there as success stories.
We now have a lot moar power than last year entering the season and depth at pitching.
We certainly aren't the favorites, but we have a decent shot to make the postseason. If we do that'd be 3 postseasons in the past 4 years with 2 AL Championships and one World Championship.
It's been a great stretch.

I said take the over, fella. 85-86 wins is a pretty fair projection; maybe 87 after the Wood signing. I think I'm right in line with most of you on my Royals projections. I've been far more bullish on the Davis and Dyson returns than most of you as well.
You sure bruise easily.
