One guy that could be a sleeper is Erick Fedde, who won the KBO's equivalent of the Cy Young. He's a former top prospect with the Washington Nationals, so he checks off the talent box, too.

Am I missing something or is he about as unproven as possible? I get it happens more these days, but I'll go with this will benefit the Royals. I'll update my last prior prediction and now go with the Royals only losing 94 games next year.

You're not missing something. He's replacing a future Hall of Fame manager and yes, he's unproven as possible even though Vogt had a good reputation for being a savvy clubhouse guy while playing.

Hope it's a good sh1t
