Second, we gave a whopping 1,911 (!!!!) PA of negative fWAR from: Alshittys, Duda, Cuthbert, Orlando, Goins, Dozier, Butera. Total and complete horseshit that no other team would dare Troy out there. Only Dozier is back, so that right there should add another 3 wins.
We will lose 2 wins front Whit and prob 1-2 from Keller. So 71 is the answe.

except that 'Royals baseball' has always ('14 and '15 I mean) outperformed the projections. Meaning, loads of team speed and plus defense. After a couple of years of getting away from that, Moore went back to it the second half this year and the team looked a lot better even as young and inexperienced as they were. I think the AAA pitching staff has some better bullpen options (can't blame the team for not bringing them up this year as it was a lost cause) but if I squint just right I can see a .500 club.
