Hok Talk: The Royals rotation is about where it should be

At the beginning of the year, the Royals’ rotation had an average age of 29.4. After injuries and demotions, the Royals currently carry a rotation with an average age of 25.8. Shaving four years off that average age has done wonders for how interesting the Royals’ rotation is. What if I told you that, according to FanGraphs, the Royals from March-May got 1.9 fWAR from the starting rotation and from June-August they got...1.9 fWAR from the starting rotation. Turns out the team doesn’t have to be better to be more intersting; it just needs more hope.
