Here's a case where a team's WAR winning percentage can be more telling than its current record. Judging by wins and losses alone, the Royals have been atrocious. But their offensive line of .254/.316/.408 is pretty close to league average and their pitching hasn't been disastrous. The problem has been when the hits have come: Kansas City has hit just .198 in high-leverage situations. The Royals don't have to play much better in order to start winning games -- they just need to start coming through in the clutch.

The Royals are 7th in the FanGraphs power rankings. SEVENTH. LOOK AT THOSE STATS.
If that doesn't say something about how the team is being managed, then I don't know what does.
