Junis doesn't overpower people like Greinke did. That was more my point. |

So if Junis is pitching like this at the deadline, what kind of return could we get for him?

Not many guys dominate with a 91 mph FB and a 87 MPH slider. Corey Kluber is the exception. |

It’s hard to bitch when you’ve seen them win two World Series in your lifetime but it would be nice to see them compete and consistently make the postseason every couple of years.

If Duffy can get right and you get good Kennedy along with Junis. That's three decent starters. Pair that with a bullpen that's not putting Maurer in pressure situations and you probably have a competitive team right there.

I think the reality of MLB and the current structure of revenue sharing/how teams are built these days stacks against the royals being great consistently. I think they need to be close to perfect while larger markets have a much larger margin of error.

The Royals will be good again. It’s just a mater of when, and whether it will be with Moore and co. They have a nice group of players at the A and high-A levels that you can dream on (1B Nick Pratto, C MJ Melendez, of Seuly Matias, Of Khalil Lee - whom Moore calls the most talented all-around player they’ve drafted since Hosmer - 3M Emmanuel Rivera, OF Michael Gigliotti, Of Marten Gasparini, SS Jeison Guzman). If they do well in this draft and can add some pitching star power to that group, you start to build a wave that people can get excited about. They’ve got HS heavy the past few drafts... adding some polished college prospects to this grouping would seem to make sense. |

If Skoglund does well, that's three of the five starters for years. Hoping Kennedy and Hammel pitch well in the first half and are gone at the trade deadline. They are replaced in the rotation by Kellar. Great article on Kellar here; https://kingsofkauffman.com/2018/04/...d-brad-keller/ And, Trevor Oaks. Great article on Oaks here; https://kingsofkauffman.com/2018/01/...s-erick-mejia/ Your starting five are all tied up for years. You build your bullpen around Karns, Hill, and Lovelady. I'm optimistic. |

It's good that the Royals didn't get completely boned regarding competitive balance picks (again).
