2013 Kansas City Royals Repository Thread

Proposed 2013 Slogan: Tigers: They're what's for dinner
Actual 2013 Slogan: Come to Play
A better, more accurate, or alternative slogan: All in, no panic, we promise.

The 2013 season is closer than we realize. The Royals will feature a rebuilt rotation that likely includes 4 new starters. The most-watched prospects of 2012, Wil Myers and Jake Odorizzi are gone, the price required to rebuild the rotation.

The Royals still have Sal Perz, who has even more of a "star" look to him than a year ago. They still have Alcides Escobar, who was a little less SS jesus in 2012 but brought more at the plate. Billy Butler finally hit a number of home runs that matches his build and how hard he hits the ball. Alex Gordon did it again. Hosmer and Moose struggled.

Dayton Moore has pushed all his chips in and is riding on King/Jack suited, hoping it comes together, he gets some good luck, and he hits the nuts by the river card. There's potential, oh yes, there's potential. There's also risk.

Burning Questions for 2013:

1) Will the improve rotation be improved enough? Does James Shields pitch like a fringe No. 1 away from Tampa Bay? Does Ervin Santana pitch to his highest upside in his walk year? Can Jeremy Guthrie build on his strong performance as a Royal in 2012? Can Wade Davis bring his new mentality- and velocity - back to the rotation?
2) When will Luke Hochevar be shown the door?
3) Does Hosmer bounce back?
4) Can Moustakas hit for a whole season like he did in the first half of 2012?
5) Who regresses?
6) Who plays 2B?
7) Can Jeff Francoeur be at least replacement level, rather than epic horrible level?
8) Will Dayton Moore survive to see 2014?
9) Will Danny Duffy come back healthy? And if he does, is he the same, better or worse?
10) And the big one: Has KC added enough to run down the big-money Detroit Tigers?

The dynamic pricing could be interesting this year. I purposely didn't renew my season tickets because I didn't want to get stuck watching Hoch and/or Chen for a bunch of games. I figured I'd buy tickets on the secondary market for the Shields/Santana games. It will be interesting to see if those games go up in price in addition to their typical premium games.

I think it means "college night" is going to be more expensive for men over 40.

How does Dynamic pricing work? Does that mean you pay more for "marquee" opponents like the Yankees, Angels, etc....? NBA games are like that.

Pretty much. Yankees, Red Sox and Cardinals games were already $5 more per ticket but the pricing is going to get more complex then that. I know Cardinals and Cubs already have dynamic pricing and I am sure others do too.

It's pretty much any game that is in demand, not specific to just opponent. I could see promo giveaway games, James Shields games, etc.

In other news, MLB apparently has given the A's a set of guidelines to meet in order to be allowed to move to San Jose.

I think Buster Olney nailed the analysis on this one.

MLB giving Athletics list of guidelines to meet for possible move to San Jose reminds me of getting my cat to chase a flashlight beam.
