No one has been more adamant than me that the Kansas City Royals need to spend some money in 2020. I would say we need at least three or four pitchers, between the rotation and the bullpen, and we need 2 more legitimate bats. But I am also aware that simply purchasing new players will not fill every hole we have. Some of our existing guys are going to have to step up. Identifying which guys are ready to step up may very well be the difference between success and another failed season in 2020.
There is no exact science in attempting to determine which young players are about to have a breakout season.
