Watching the playoffs clearly has people thinking about how the Royals match up and what they need to do to go from a distant fourth in the AL Central to in the conversation in the next couple years. Obviously it would help them if MLB continued to allow eight teams per league to make it, but the reality is the eighth seed isn’t likely to really be able to compete for a championship. Obviously a lot depends on the arms the Royals are developing as to when they can compete for that championship, but I really believe that the fate of the organization lies in their hitting development.
Lesky’s Notes: There really is a lot of pitching in this organization
