Healthy vets should boost Royals on Opening Day

Official Site of the Royals | November 4, 2016

KANSAS CITY -- As injuries and fatigue gripped the 2016 Royals, they missed the postseason for the first time since '13. Still, they finished 81-81 for their fourth consecutive non-losing season, a successful stretch they have not accomplished in more than a quarter of a century.

Expectations for 2017 are high. Kansas City will get a healthy Mike Moustakas back at third base, along with Lorenzo Cain in the outfield and Jason Vargas in the rotation. A return trip to the World Series should be within reach.
