Breakfast- Was the only Royal who looked like he belonged in the major leagues for a few years there (not physically. Lol). But ultimately only did one thing well and not for a lengthy enough period of time.
Guthrie- If there was a section for awesome teammate/cheerleader/great post season pressers, he would walk in.
Davies- bahahahahaha
Beltran/Damon- WTF?

Especially for a team like the Royals when it’s going to be more difficult than normal to keep guys here long term, there is a thing to be said about longevity that should work in the players favor if the numbers are close.
So that will ultimately mean Butler is getting in and probably this year
Hochevar and Guthrie won’t make it on first try but it’s conceivable they get in at some point. If Guthrie had won Game 7, he’d be a lock.
Ventura is getting in, lack of longevity aside.
Beltran is going to make it. Maybe not this year but won’t be surprising if that is so.
He’s definitely in before Damon
Damon has a chance someday to make it but not before or at same time as Beltran
Davies - wow. No
My Ballot
Ventura - yes
Butler - yes
Beltran - on the fence, hard pass
Hochevar - not yet
Guthrie - not yet
Damon - not yet
Davies - not even close
