The Kansas City Royals are a bad baseball team. They are on pace for 110 losses, which would easily be the worst season in franchise history. However, things are looking up a bit. Washed-up veterans like Lucas Duda, Jason Hammel, Alcides Escobar, Drew Butera, Ian Kennedy, Jason Hammel, Blaine Boyer, and Justin Grimm have been traded, injured, or seen their roles slashed and replaced with a cabal of rookies and youngsters. The Royals are 5-1 over their last six games, and with a win tonight or tomorrow can secure their third consecutive series win for the first time all year.
