Royals Contracts a Major Storyline Already

It’s really quite amazing to me how little uncertainty there is surrounding the 2016 Royals. We have as good an idea as you can have on February 8 of five spots in the batting order and we know who’s going to hit in two of the others, just not sure who hits in which spot. We even truthfully have a pretty good idea of who will bat in the other two spots.

We know at least three of the five starters and probably four of them if we’re being honest with ourselves. There’s a question of who will pitch the seventh and who will pitch the eighth out of the bullpen, but really, we have a pretty good idea of just about the entire team.
