In this thread: All things related to the AL Champions.

Duncan's Official Team Record prediction: 90 wins
Duncan's Official Team MVP prediction: Eric Hosmer

I can't wait for this season to start. The AL Central should be a very entertaining race. I'll give brief thoughts on each team the Royals must contend with to make it back to the postseason - strengths and weaknesses.

Detroit Tigers:
Strength: The offense is still full of powerful hitters, and Miguel Cabrera may be healthier.
Weakness: Rotation is questionable after Price and Sanchez, bullpen continues to be horrible.

Cleveland Indians:
Strength: Great manager and a deep, versatile lineup.
Weakness: The rotation is a question mark past Corey Kluber, and even he has a few questions about him.

Chicago White Sox:
Strength: 1-2-3 combo of Sale, Quintana and Samardzija is pretty formidable. Offense is anchored by Jose Abreu, too.
Weakness: Defense still has major questions, and this team has 20 games to improve by if it really wants to make the playoffs.

The Royals will be a division winner IF ...
1) Ventura and Duffy combine for 375+ innings of high-quality work
2) Eric Hosmer delivers on his potential with a FULL season of success rather than bursts
3) The deeper bullpen lessens the critical load on Herrera, Davis and Holland
4) Lorenzo Cain stays healthy
5) Either Alex Rios or Kendrys Morales bounces back to 2013 form

Let's get this started!

Was Ankiel in 2010? If so, I know we traded him to the Braves for Gregor Blanco and Tim Collins but I don't remember if Blanco played on the big league level or just minors.

Ankiel and Blanco are both correct.

Random stats to go along with the question...

5 of those 10 also played on a major league team other than the Royals that year.

8 of those 10 were either not on our team the year before and/or the following season.
I believe we had Willie Bloomquist and Rick Ankiel out there that year as well, no? Jose Guillen?

Bloomquist is the last of the players who played on other teams that year. Ankiel and Guillen are correct but already mentioned.

That dude signed with Syracuse to be an option QB out of high school?

Is White one of them with another them? I think we traded for him.

Holy cow Mitch Maier played the most games in OF that year! They were soo bad. Rotation was Greinke, Davies, Chen, Bannister and Hochevar/O'Sullivan for most of the year. Meche blew his arm out that year.

The year prior, there were 3 other outfielders who started at least 30 games for the Royals. Two of them played for at least one other team that year. (One of those played for two other teams).

Name them.
