But the real goddamn travesty is that 5 guys are batting near the Mendoza Line, and nothing appears to change that. Something is going to have to change. That stat line is not going to cut it, especially 2 of them currently OPS'ing below 70.
So, the Royals need to nut up and either demote them to Omaha or outright DFA, and find someone else who can at least do better.

I addressed this nonsense in the main Royals thread

So far they are quite a bit better than both the 2014 and 2015 teams on offense. I'd say they are significantly better on D and those 14/15 defenses were great. We might even have better speed than those 14/15 teams. The starting pitching is about even with the 14/15 teams. The only thing that isn't the same or better is the bullpen. 14/15 bullpens were miles and miles ahead of this bullpen.
We need bullpen help. Probably 2 guys.

The offense is fine. It's one of the highest scoring in the entire ML. Some guys aren't great, but the great ones make up for it
