I don’t think before the season there was any way that you could have convinced me that Seth Lugo could be leading the American League in ERA for qualified starters. (And he’s fourth in MLB! The Cubs have TWO starters with a better ERA than Lugo, but a worse record!) But if you could have convinced me it could happen, and that Ragans would still be Ragans and Alec Marsh would take the step forward I was predicting, that I would feel really good about the Royals.
And, yeah, we should all feel pretty good about the Royals!
