There’s something to be said about comparing your performance to those who win championships. It gives you a snapshot of where your team may need to improve on and a possible roadmap on how to get to where you want to go. Although you may not necessarily want to emulate the champs, the comparison can point out some deficiencies that if rectified can bring you to a new level.
With that in mind, we take a look at a direct comparison between the 2015 Tampa Bay Rays and that season’s Kansas City Royals. Things to note include the fact that both play in different divisions and that injuries will always have a role in performance.
