Last year there were only 2 players +15 runs offensively and defensively (you can guess one). He is an elite defender but it's ok to let some of these go

It just goes against the teams make-up. I cringe hard every time Hos slides into first, as a broken wrist would be devastating for him at this point in his career.
But this team lets the players be who they are. Sometimes that doesn't work (Game 7 of the 2014 World Series), but more often than not it has (2014 & 2015 playoffs).
Speaking of former Royals, I feel for BGJ. Though his Padres came close today, they still haven't scored a run this season (What a way to kick off their home opening series).
