*****Official 2025 Royals Season Repository Thread*****

[ChiefsCountry]

Coming off an American League Divisional Series appearance, its year 3 of Matt Quatraro tenure. Can they take the next step to a division title? Can Bobby Witt, Jr. take his superstar status to another level? Can Cole Ragans develop more? Will the other starting pitching duplicate last season? The offense can it deliver more? Who will be in the outfield? How about the new stadium development?

I dont agree with that. You might not like his politics, but the night was about his on the field accomplishments. People need to seperate the two.

Starting Lineup

1. Willie Wilson - S - LF
2. Bobby Witt Jr - R - SS
3. George Brett - L - 3B
4. Carlos Beltran - S - RF
5. Mike Sweeney - R - 1B
6. Hal McRae - R - DH
7. Amos Otis - R - CF
8. Salvador Perez - R - C
9. Frank White - R - 2B

Bench

10. Darrell Porter - L - C
11. Lorenzo Cain - R - OF
12. Alex Gordon - L - OF
13. Whit Merrifield - R - IF/OF

Rotation

1. Bret Saberhagen - RHP
2. Kevin Appier - RHP
3. Zack Greinke - RHP
4. David Cone - RHP
5. Dennis Leonard - RHP

Bullpen

6. Dan Quisenberry - RHP
7. Jeff Montgomery - RHP
8. Joakim Soria - RHP
9. Greg Holland - RHP
10. Wade Davis - RHP
11. Kelvin Herrera - RHP
12. Steve Busby - RHP
13. Mark Gubicza - RHP

Ton of speed on this team and an airtight bullpen. Not a lot of power, but a lot of timely hitting. Scoring runs shouldn’t be a problem. Only wrinkle on defense is Mike Sweeney at first, gold gloves at pretty much every other position. Wish the pitching had a lefty or two, but I feel good about this staff. Lot of Cy Young awards there, and I’m pretty convinced if Sabes and Ape don’t get hurt, they’d be HOFers. How about you, whaddya got?

we don't have any good left-handed pitchers? And Bo Jackson should be an exception to your 3 year deal.

Jackson county is close to losing the chiefs and the royals and Frank White is a big reason why. He’s clearly bitter towards the royals and is doing everying in his power to get back at them.

He also ushered in massive personal property tax increases. His legacy is sullied and he’s the reason why.
