Things might have been totally different, and not necessarily in a good way. When the Royals went to spring training they still considered Wade Davis a candidate for the starting rotation. There's no reason to think he'd have done any better as a starter this year than he did last year. Instead of HDH we'd have had HHH (which does have a nice ring to it).
However, if they bring Hochevar back next year as a long reliever and bring back HDH, you can't ask for a better bullpen than that.
