*** Official Royals Repository, Part 4 ***

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

Duncan's Official Team Record prediction: 90 wins
One month in: Looking strong
All Star Break: Looking strong, probably should adjust up to 93-94 wins.
Duncan's Official Team MVP prediction: Eric Hosmer
One month in: Upstaged by his best friend MIKE MOOTACOS, MAN. Tell us bout your hittin, bro!
All Star Break: Lorenzo Cain starting to run away with this one.

Division Preview
Clearly, overlooking the Twins was a mistake at this point. I still don't believe in that team long-term, but they're starting to get that Magic Season twinkle about them.

Detroit is toast. Garbage rotation beyond Price and Sanchez, Miggy out.

And Cleveland... Cleveland still is dangerous if it ever clicks offensively, because the starting pitching is good enough for them to real off a 15-5 stretch and get right back into the playoff picture.

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

The first of these is clearly not going to happen. The second looked good through the end of May but is now eating Cain's dust (Hosmer has still been improved this year, though, lessening his valley. If he has a really hot second half, he can get right back in it). Item three is definitely the case. Item four should probably be first at this point. And Morales has more than bounced back.

Duncan’s Top 20 for mid-season 2015:
Spoiler!

Last year at this time Oakland had a 12.5 game lead on Kansas City...and then somehow ended the season with one less win than them. Then blowing a 5 run? lead in a Wild Card game.

Some A's fan had to have tried to slit their wrists after that, had to have.

Ohhh I see, didn't see the 2B and RF part. Zobrist shores up both of those positions, how wonderful.

The WC game was the cherry on top of their collapse. A perfect and fitting way for their season to end.

I think Zobrist should just start a game at catcher, just for the hell of it. He would then be able to say he's started at every single position. Hell, once we clinch, lets have him pitch to. Why the **** not?

From what I've heard about him, he may be able to pitch and catch at the same time. We can rest Salvy and the bullpen all at once. HE'S THAT GOOD

Lol@Bauer's salary comment. That should go over real well in Cleveland, one of the most blue collar cities we have.

Ned deserves a day off at the spa, Zobrist should just manage the team as well.

*** Official Royals Repository, Part 4 ***

Finnegan & Lamb

http://www.courier-journal.com/story...bats/30802697/

Quote:
Brandon Finnegan parted easily from an organization that drafted him during TCU's run to the 2014 College World Series, then made history by sending the lefty out as a Kansas City Royals reliever in the major-league World Series the same year.

Introduced as a Louisville Bats pitcher Tuesday, Finnegan quipped that he'll "get to swing a bat now, so I'm pretty pumped." On the mound, the Reds will make him a starter, a role he had off and on during his year with the Royals' organization.

"I like starting, but I don't like being taken out once I get in a groove, and that's what was happening with Kansas City," said Finnegan who, along with fellow lefties John Lamb and Cody Reed, was acquired by the Reds in Sunday's Johnny Cueto trade.

"I don't think they knew what was going on, to be honest with you. But I wouldn't be able to do what I did if it wasn't for them. It was fun."

THE COURIER-JOURNAL
Reds looking to Bats for Cueto's replacement

Finnegan is 3-0 with a 2.96 ERA in the majors this year, all 14 of his appearances out of the bullpen. At Triple-A Omaha, he went 0-2 with a 7.07 ERA; four of Finnegan's six outings there were starts.

Finnegan and Lamb, also sent to Louisville, have not yet been activated. Likewise, neither knew as of Tuesday afternoon when they may first appear for the Bats.

First, pitching coach Ted Power said he planned to sit down with Finnegan to "let him tell me what he thinks his strengths are, where his trouble areas are on his delivery with certain pitches," Power said. "…Obviously, the guy's had a high level of success already, so he has a pretty good idea of what he's doing."

The Reds may need pitching by the week's end. David Holmberg will fill Cueto's spot in the rotation Thursday. The trade deadline then looms at 4 p.m. Friday, with Cincinnati likely to deal starter Mike Leake as well.

"Hopefully I'll be up with the rotation sometime," the 22-year-old Finnegan said. "That's what Kansas City had planned for me to do, but obviously that wasn't following through. I'm ready to go."

Finnegan, from Fort Worth, Texas, played three seasons at TCU. Three publications named him an All-American his senior year.

Lamb's in the middle of a comeback season. Years removed from elbow surgery, the 25-year-old went 9-1 with a 2.67 ERA in 2015 at Triple-A Omaha, allowing just 28 earned runs in 94.1 innings.

As for the opportunity he, Finnegan and Reed have to make it to the majors, Lamb noted closer Aroldis Chapman's the only current lefty Reds pitcher. He, too, could be traded this week.
"I just am grateful to be in a place where there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel," Lamb said.

Added Finnegan: "It's crazy to see three left-handers going from one organization…It's definitely cool to be a part of that. They wanted me as a starter, and that's definitely a blessing. It took some people to put that in my head – to understand how big of a blessing this is and how much fun it's going to be. We all three have got a really good chance to make something out of this, and I can't wait to do it."
