Year Two of the Matt Quatraro tenure. Time to take a step up this year. Active in free agency and trades this offseason. A new look pitching rotation and bullpen. Will the young players take the leap up offensively? Bobby Witt extension? New stadium? Will Vinny recover from injury? Salvy taking aim at the Royals record book? Will Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

If the Royals make it to the WC round, they will both pitch (as pointed out earlier, it’s a series now). But if you could only start one of them, it would be Lugo and it’s not close. Ragans has not been good vs the Astros this year. He has 2 starts against them and has pretty meh numbers:
Best outfielder we got. Is any one of Blake Mitchell, Spencer Nivens, Jac Caglianone or Carter Jensen even have a chance to be an above avg defensive outfielder? [Reply]
