The Kansas City Royals won the 2015 World Series title sporting an offense that didn’t have a hole. Adding second baseman Ben Zobrist at the deadline, and right fielder Alex Rios‘ second-half improvement gave the KC Royals a lineup that could hurt opponents no. 1 through no. 9.
Coming into the 2016 season, Kansas City Royals general manager Dayton Moore hoped that second baseman Omar Infante‘s production would rebound after off-season elbow surgery and that fourth outfielder Jarrod Dyson could hold down a full-time job.
