*****Official 2024 Royals Season Repository Thread*****

[ChiefsCountry]

Year Two of the Matt Quatraro tenure. Time to take a step up this year. Active in free agency and trades this offseason. A new look pitching rotation and bullpen. Will the young players take the leap up offensively? Bobby Witt extension? New stadium? Will Vinny recover from injury? Salvy taking aim at the Royals record book? Will Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

Hunter Renfroe, OF/DH
Will Smith, RP
Chris Stratton, RP
Nick Anderson, RP
Adam Frazier, 2B

That's really interesting.

This White Sox team has to be up there for worst team ever. I'd say the 03 Tigers is the worst team I've seen but let's see how many games the Sox win. That Tigers team had a couple okay hitters, but that's just like this Sox team has had a couple decent pitchers and not much else.

I'd have to go look at that Orioles roster again because they were horrible but they also had a couple of HOFers in Ripken and Eddie Murray. It's hard to rank them at the bottom just for that reason.

The 1989 Orioles, under the direction of Frank Robinson, battled the Blue Jays until the penultimate game for the AL East crown in the days when only four teams made the playoffs in baseball.

1989 Royals might have been the one of the best team in club history but they finished second to a loaded Athletics team that year.

The White Sox only trail the 1916 Philadelphia A's for lowest w/l % of the modern era. So unless you're 120 years old they are the worst team you have ever seen. Now they could catch and surpass that 2003 Tigers team, but they would have to have a hell of an August or September.

Connie Mack was known for bringing pennants and world championships to Philadelphia, but the 1916 team sure is a black mark on his Hall of Fame resume.
