Royals How Many Wins for the 2013 Kansas City Royals? - Page 2

Archie F. Swin · 08:56 AM

Poll Forthcoming...

In 2012, the Royals finished with the 23rd best record in the majors (30 teams) with 72 wins, 90 losses.

AL Central winners, Detroit finished the regular season with a record of 88-79, and they were the only division winner with less than 90 wins. The World Champion San Francisco Giants won 94 games in the regular season.

The 2013 Royals will field a very similar team offensively with what appears to be a much improved starting rotation. How many wins will this team get in 2013?

85 wins and 2nd in the Central!

CaliforniaChief · 03-26-2013, 09:16 AM

I'm predicting 87 wins this year.

The key guys are Hosmer, Santana, and Guthrie. If those guys play closer to their ceiling, I think we'll be right there with the Tigers. If not, we're probably sub .500 and looking for a new manager.

Actually the best thing for Hoch is to just let him gas it for a couple innings. Anything after a few innings is way too much and he's a ticking time bomb

Barring injuries, I'll go with 85 wins. Knocking on the door to the playoffs. If this team performs above their heads, they could take the division.

...good thing he's a reliever, then?

Didn't we ask this already? I say 74. They won't be over .500.

100

*I know this is ridiculous but the Royals are my only shot to have a decent KC team this year.

Shooting for .500 this year again. Last time the Royals were over .500, 2003.

You all are some gutless cowards.

**Old Dog** · 03-26-2013, 10:36 AM

put me down for 90

okcchief · 03-26-2013, 10:38 AM

132, but I'll accept 81

Strongside · 03-26-2013, 10:38 AM

If we have a few things break our way, we could win 90+.
