The Kansas City Royals rank 13th in the American League in runs scored, which pretty much sums up their early season troubles. The pitching has kept the team afloat with a 3.45 staff ERA (third best in the AL). The defense is still among the best in baseball, and the bullpen has been solid.
Despite the poor showing from the offense, the KC Royals sit at 14-12, but find themselves looking up in the AL Central standings at the streaking White Sox whose pitchers are mowing down the opposition (staff ERA of 2.45). With hitters like Alex Gordon, Kendrys Morales, and Lorenzo Cain sputtering, could Kansas City Royals general manager Dayton Moore look to AAA Omaha for help?
