*** Official 2015 Royals Repository ***

In this thread: All things related to the AL Champions.

Duncan's Official Team Record prediction: 90 wins
Duncan's Official Team MVP prediction: Eric Hosmer

I can't wait for this season to start. The AL Central should be a very entertaining race. I'll give brief thoughts on each team the Royals must contend with to make it back to the postseason - strengths and weaknesses.

Detroit Tigers:
Strength: The offense is still full of powerful hitters, and Miguel Cabrera may be healthier.
Weakness: Rotation is questionable after Price and Sanchez, bullpen continues to be horrible.

Cleveland Indians:
Strength: Great manager and a deep, versatile lineup.
Weakness: The rotation is a question mark past Corey Kluber, and even he has a few questions about him.

Chicago White Sox:
Strength: 1-2-3 combo of Sale, Quintana and Samardzija is pretty formidable. Offense is anchored by Jose Abreu, too.
Weakness: Defense still has major questions, and this team has 20 games to improve by if it really wants to make the playoffs.

The Royals will be a division winner IF ...
1) Ventura and Duffy combine for 375+ innings of high-quality work
2) Eric Hosmer delivers on his potential with a FULL season of success rather than bursts
3) The deeper bullpen lessens the critical load on Herrera, Davis and Holland
4) Lorenzo Cain stays healthy
5) Either Alex Rios or Kendrys Morales bounces back to 2013 form

Let's get this started!

Let's not get crazy. 125 wins is still a really good season. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Except for Beltran, the 2003 Royals were a regression to the mean waiting to happen. This team has Perez, Gordon, Hosmer, Cain, Escobar, Ventura - all proven All Star caliber players w/a track record that the big market teams would kill for. And then, on top of that throw in the most dominant bullpen in baseball.

By my count we have 9 players the Yankees would kill for. Which is probably more than the Yankees have on their own team.

I start rolling and the guy does too and says they just drove from Chicago to watch the game and his kid starts heckling their own guys.

We are strong in the minors, our pitching arms are ****ing solid throughout the system.

The future definitely looks a lot brighter. The October run made it all worthwhile. All of the rants and pissed off moments. We didn't win it all, but we almost did. That was one of the best World Series in a couple decades, perhaps. So close. And it's not over... we will keep making runs.
I agree with this. The Royals could never keep up with teams like the Yankees in ability to spend. The only way to have success is a solid minor league system. pumping up good talent for when the players leave. Once more success is had, hopefully we can begin to retain some of those players.

JP Morosi sounded like he wanted to cry on the broadcast last night after Hud ripped him a new one for not picking the Royals to win the Central (Indians) or make the WC (Tigers).

I have to keep telling myself "It's only 4 games." But those 4 games are encouraging as hell. Showing the exact same things (defense, speed, bullpen) that propelled us last year, with the power that wasn't there. Exciting.

Now let's go win this series.

In the past that would worry the hell out of me. Last year they learned to use the attention to pump themselves up instead of implode.

It was fun watching Gore Dyson and Escobar wreck havoc on the base paths. That Oakland A's playoff game was something else.
