*** Official 2015 Royals Repository ***

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!

And for Ventura, he's got security if the unthinkable happens, and he finally has money in the bank. Its easier to get these types of deals done with international players.

I say the rationale behind batting Moose second is that Gordon isn't 100% healthy and second Moose would probably see some better pitches in the 2 hole. Just my opinion on the matter.

I think Ned just figures he can do whatever he wants. Hell, he thinks he turned Alcides Escobar into a leadoff hitter. You watch, he'll try Infante in the three hole by June.

Hell, I'll allow my wife to be a surrogate for either Ned or Dayton at this point.

I really don't see any reason to put Moose that high. I really do hope it's trolling. It makes no sense.

I did hear Ned once say he loves Tennessee Honey Whiskey though. So maybe he's been drinking.

Flynn to Omaha & Madson to the bullpen.

When I saw that they signed Ventura to a 5 year / $23 million contract I thought they had forgot to print a "1" at the beginning of it.

I always thought Esky would end up at leadoff. This last year was the first year he looked healthy and perhaps matured when the season began
