The Kansas City Royals’ offense showed signs of life this week, scoring 16 runs in three games against the Texas Rangers, which led to a three-game sweep of Texas. The lineup the Royals trotted out yesterday is, for my money, the strongest lineup that the Royals can currently put out and the one I would want to see if the Royals were in the playoffs right now:

I think you can quibble with Nick Loftin being in the lineup instead of Drew Waters, but beyond that, this is the best the Royals are going to be able to offer any given day.
