*** 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!

May end up? Shields was veteran presence and innings eater that helped take the team to the WS. Davis is a historically good reliever. Myers could win the next 10 MVP's and I wouldn't regret that trade.

Exactly.

When Duffy is pitching well, like last night, his curveball is a thing of beauty.

2.3 is current pace
2.5 is pace after weekend is completed


That second figure would set a franchise record. (Which is meaningless given the metro is 50% more populated than it was in 1980)

I was saying this in response to some fans on this board who still aren't "sold" that they would had made the trade. There is enough evidence now that this trade massively favors KC and GMDM by a long shot.

The fans have responded. Maybe it was all the calling out you did last year.

Many of us wouldn't have done it AT THE TIME, but a few of us can admit that just maybe Dayton Moore knows a touch more about baseball than we do.

Would I have done it then, No. Would I jump in my time machine and reverse it given the opportunity. HELL NO. Those of us (at that time) that said it was a bad trade for the Royals were obviously wrong. Anybody still saying it is just an idiot.

But with less seats now, compared to 1980, correct?

If a player took a bat to the mound and swung it at the pitcher, they might be banned from baseball for life and probably charged with a crime.
