Not this year at least.

The Royals would not have been last in the majors in HR in most ball parks, but this is getting ridiculous.

Interesting article on their 2015 chances.

I'd take the 92 Braves as a role model.

They replace Billy Butler with Kendrys Morales.

Morales signed a two-year, $17 million deal with the Royals on Thursday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. (12/11/2014)

Holy Crap...you NEVER want to hear a pitcher say this, especially one with the upside of a Brandon Finnegan...

Brandon Finnegan on how he felt starting his throwing this winter: “It felt like I tore everything in my arm.” He said he feels better now.

LOL...yeah, if I were a senior Royals management person, that would have been a Depends moment for me.

It will be interesting where he goes in my keeper league.

So does anyone have any thoughts as to why Jarrod Dyson has yet to get into a game? I was expecting (hoping) he'd get a start or two a week as a platoon-ish type, or at least get some PH/PR action... but so far, nothing!

It's April.

Well, he gets in today, but only after Rios gets hit by a pitch.

Alex Rios suffered a fracture in his left hand. He will be placed on the disabled list. No timetable yet for his return.

Of course he did because I drafted him on Sunday.

That's gotta be six weeks, at least.

Dyson will basically play full time while Rios is out?

Dyson vs. R. ??? vs. L. Rotoworld posits it may be Paulo Orlando - who is apparently a baseball player on the Kansas City Royals - vs. L.
