are we all just collectively ignoring the fact the Royals won 56 games last year and have zero above league average players after Bobby Witt Jr

I’m dead serious can anyone name 3 players on the Royals roster NOT named Bobby Witt Jr
@KirilloffRBW Will they win the division no but Vinnie Pasquantino was out most of last season too.
Without a doubt the most average team in baseball. Which might actually be enough to win the division. I think it’s probably one of the better rosters but the better prospects on any team puts them ahead 2023 xERA, stuff+, location+, pitching+ Cole Ragans: 3.33, 101, 99, 102 Kyle Wright (2022): 3.89, 103, 100, 100 Micheal Wacha: 4.27, 89, 102, 101 Seth Lugo: 4.42, 102, 102, 103 Jordan Lyles: 4.96, 85, 101, 97 Brady Singer: 4.96, 85, 100, 95 2024 The Bat X Projection: Bobby Witt Jr: 128 wRC+ Vinnie Pasquintino: 117 wRC+ MJ Melendez: 105 wRC+ 4-9 in the order: 95-89 wRC+ The pitching all seems good if you go off ERA. Though the xERA is concerning. The prospect lists is horrible. There’s really nothing
@KirilloffRBW Everyone wants a new, shiny thing to be excited about. For some weird reason a bunch of people have decided that KC and/or Detroit are those new, shiny things. These people need professional help.
@KirilloffRBW Zero? Just say you don’t actually watch baseball and move along, man.
@KirilloffRBW They play in the QuadA, AL Central.
@KirilloffRBW They signed Will Smith, which guarantees them a WS championship.
@KirilloffRBW Honestly the Royals feel less like contenders with the moves they made and more like ready to trade off pieces at the deadline when they inevitably fall short (though man the Central is so terrible)
@KirilloffRBW It's hard to predict baseball when you don't know anything about a team's offseason signings and top prospects.
