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?

He seems like a reerun. But if it means our brawler spirit is unleashed, I'm def on board. Royals literally kicked ass all season long in 2015, right from the outset. Would be an opportune time to recapture that fightin' passion.
This organization is fucking exhausting. CJ Alexander didn't deserve to get any kind of look in the majors? Dude had a .907 OPS in AAA, but nah fuck him. We have Adam Frazier and Garrett Hampson. [Reply]

Alexander is 28 and will probably clear waivers and get outrighted back to Triple-A Omaha. I don't see anybody claiming him. [Reply]
