Hello and welcome to another season of, “The Royals chasing wins even when it puts important players at risk of serious injury!”
Last year we saw the Royals play Hunter Dozier and Carlos Santana every day despite both players being awful. Later we discovered that they were both playing hurt for extended lengths of time. It boggles the mind, but we learned for sure then that the Royals were willing to encourage guys to step on the field every day when the wins were meaningless and when the players themselves were clearly not capable of performing to the standards they themselves had previously set.
