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




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?

Free Agents/Trades Acquisitions
Seth Lugo, SP
Michael Wacha, SP
Kyle Wright, SP
Hunter Renfroe, OF/DH
Will Smith, RP
Chris Stratton, RP
Nick Anderson, RP
Adam Frazier, 2B
Garrett Hampson, INF/OF
Matt Sauer, RP

A lot has to happen to be a 20 game winner, and we’ve got a long way to go. The dude is a legit Cy Young contender right now and just goes about his business in such an understated way. He’s like the ****ing terminator out there. Can he do it?
If the season ended today, I think he’s the CY. Long way to go, as you said. I heard the other day that at this rate he should hit his career high in innings pitched for a season by the AS break. It will be interesting to see how he and the staff manage his stamina.

Yeah, he’s had a terrific career thus far, mostly as a middle innings reliever. And now he’s a full time starter at 34? I can’t come up with a comp. But he just looks so relaxed out there, and I hate to compare him to Maddux, but that’s truly what he looks like. This rotation has been sooo refreshing. We have a legit rotation for the first time in a decade, but more than that, this might be the best rotation we’ve had in about 30 years, to the point that every guy not only gives the team a chance to win, but actually excel and dominate.

Makes it sooooo much easier and enjoyable to watch when you’ve got a truly professional starting staff. I think after today’s “quality start” by Lugo, the team now has 18 or 19? And this is after 42 games. Did we have as many QS’s in all of 2023? What a remarkable turnaround.

It’s scary to think that our weakest pitcher this year is probably Ragans

Honestly, I’d blame lack of run support on days that he pitches. But that’s just me.

Don’t look now but the Royals just made MLBs top 10 teams at #10.
Sorry I can’t post the link as it was just on MLB network on my teevee.

10. Royals (previously: 10)
Season high: 6 | Season low: 24
Seth Lugo has been incredible to start this season, but one thing he hadn’t been doing was striking people out. He had only 36 strikeouts in 51 2/3 innings heading into his start against the Angels on Sunday, the actual lowest strikeout rate of his career. (It’s why his FIP was 3.78 despite a 1.74 ERA.) Lugo apparently decided he’d had enough of that narrative: He struck out a career-high 12 in eight innings of one-run mastery. If the Royals win Monday and the Guardians lose to the Rangers, Kansas City would be in first place in the AL Central for the first time this late in the season since 2016.

Comparing Mahomes to Brady is easy because we all lived through both. A lot of these names we recognize. How the hell are we ever going to be able to determine whether BWJ was better than Honus Wagner?

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/pag...hortstops-ever

Quote:
There's an argument for Wagner as the greatest player of all time. He was big, strong and fast, and while he didn't hit many home runs because he played in the dead ball era, if you transported him to 2016 he would undoubtedly hit for a lot of power. He was also one of the best old players ever, winning six of his eight batting titles after turning 30. In the first Hall of Fame induction, he received the same number of votes as Babe Ruth (although fewer than Ty Cobb). -- Schoenfield

Sending MJ to Omaha to see if he can get his swing fixed and promoting Waters would be a quick fix to one of those issues.
