I have not been following the Kansas City Royals very closely so I decided to take a look at their roster. It somewhat impressive (for a team that is that bad). They have acquired Jeff Francoeur and Melky Cabrera in the outfield which will be added to Alex Gordon who is already in left field. Also, Lorenzo Cain, who hit over .300 with the Brewers, will be getting some time in center field. Their infield looks solid with Jason Kendall, Billy Butler, and Kila Ka'aihue. They also have several prospects that could break into the majors later in the season and make an impact.
But...then I see a void when it comes to pitching. No one in their starting rotation has been very good. Maybe with the absence of Greinke, one of the other starters can step up and become a star.
Overall it looks like they might at least be exciting to watch with all that offense and no pitching. There should be a lot runs scored.
I think...dare I say...they could have a winning record. What are your thoughts on the 2011 Royals?
