Why the Royals Could Be the Dark Horse to Shock the AL Central This Season
Roster:
The roster still revolves around two guys. Bobby Witt Jr. is regularly regarded as one of the best shortstops in baseball. Salvador Perez is getting up there in age, but he can still hit and should be a focal point in the offense once again. I think Vinnie Pasquantino could have a great season, and I like Jonathan India. The problem last year was the outfield, and I think they basically tried to take upside potential rather than actually address the issue. Perhaps there is someone in the minors who could help. For the rotation, they do a good job of finding guys that are effective, but not necessarily costly. Cole Ragans will lead the team, followed by Seth Lugo. Michael Wacha and Kris Bubic are both reliable options, but the remainder of the options are question marks. Ragans could potentially be an Ace, but Lugo, Wacha, and Bubic are probably all 2-4 starters. That means that the Royals should be about as expected, not overachievers.
