How Many Wins for the 2013 Kansas City Royals?
 

Poll Forthcoming...

In 2012, the Royals finished with the 23rd best record in the majors (30 teams) with 72 wins, 90 losses.

AL Central winners, Detroit finished the regular season with a record of 88-79, and they were the only division winner with less than 90 wins. The World Champion San Francisco Giants won 94 games in the regular season.

The 2013 Royals will field a very similar team offensively with what appears to be a much improved starting rotation. How many wins will this team get in 2013?

103 bitches!!!!


Going to the playoffs PBJ

It's so hard to even guess when the games actually get meaningful. I picked the 75-84.

ill say 84.

<74 no pitching.

:spock:

Actually, we have some pitching depth for the first time in a long time.

86-76 2nd place in the Central

It would be easy to get excited about this team and predict them to win the Division. If they keep playing like they have been- it is definately a posibility. Can we hope they will keep batting .334 as a team- and play some of the best defense in baseball?? To me the Biggest difference is this year they Expect to win- last year they just Hoped to win. They have confidence and a swagger this year that I havnt seen in a Long time. They are having fun and all seem to really like coming to work and being around each other.

I will predict 85-77- 2nd in the division. That would be a Huge improvement but I think they can do it based on what they have been showing us so far.

I predict 86 wins, hopefully good for 2nd in the division

People...Think.

Hochevar and Chen are still pitching for this club.

I don't think they'll crack 81 win mark. (.500)

95+ I think Billy Butler goes beastmode this year. Pitching stays good. Alex Gordon is an Elite player this year. Alex Gordon All-Star and Golden glove. Sal Perez makes that step to being the best catcher in the game.

Hochevar is a long reliever at best and Chen may get traded before this week is out.

My initial thought was 80-85 wins so I went with 75-84. I'd be surprised if they were in the 70's though.

Having a healthy Sal Perez all year will make a Huge difference! :thumb:

I think he will be a star very soon if he doesnt get hurt.
