All eyes will be on new owner John Sherman and General Manager Dayton Moore this offseason, knowing full well that they badly need to improve the starting rotation. Just so we’re clear, if the rotation remains the same next year while they wait for the pitching prospects to make their big league debuts, we might as well pencil the Royals in for another 100-loss season and a fifth straight year of declining attendance.
Certainly, the offense is not great but one could make a great argument that the big league roster has more keeps for position players than they do starting pitchers.
