Prior to the start of the 2015 season, there were quite a few questions surrounding the Kansas City Royals. Kendrys Morales was the Royals biggest move on offense, replacing the departed Billy Butler. Edinson Volquez was brought in to replace James Shields, leading to the question of whether or not he would be capable of such a performance.
Well, as it turned out, those moves certainly paid dividends. Morales provided the Royals with a power element they had lacked, helping to anchor a lineup that saw breakthrough performances from Mike Moustakas and Lorenzo Cain.
