20-10 whats not to like?

7.2 runs per game. 54 stolen bases. Tons of home runs. Kila has 7. Gordon has 6. I think all the Royals should stay for extended spring training. I last posted when the Royals were 14-6. They were playing well then. Very well. They hit a bit of a hard time right after that post. They righted the ship and came in with a 20-10 record. Yeah, I know spring training records don't matter. YES they do. Now will the great play and a 300 team batting average transfer over to when the games count. I'm betting against that. It is spring. The team played awesome throughout the spring schedule. Good for them. I hope it lasts.
Treanor is signed and he will start opening day. Wow, I'm not against the signing at all. I'm kind of excited because the fact that he will catch the righties and Pena will catch the lefties. Makes sense. Pena caught Chen's shutout last year. Maybe he has a better feel for those guys. Treanor or Pena I don't care. I just don't want Kendall back there. I can't stand that guy and I hope his rehab takes, oh I don't know, forever! Bad signing.
Gordon had a great spring. He started to hit and hit with power. The light isn't all the way gone. I stated that he was padding the numbers against the lower level pitchers. Well, his run extended to the point where those guys were gone. Maybe, just maybe, Seitzer and Alex have figured it out. I see that Yost has moved him to the 3 hole. Here we go. Gordon and Butler as the 3-4 hitters. Good luck Alex. We need you.
The bullpen is going to get taxed. I'm not sure who is going to make it. Tejeda, Soria, O'Sullivan?. O'Sullivan gives me a rash. He is a finesse pitcher and I don't see too many of them having success out of the pen. Texiera has been pretty good. Jeffress has sucked. Collins has been pretty good. I sure hope they put together a semblance of a bull pen. The team won't average 7 runs a game but they will give up 5 plus with a week bullpen.
Getz? Weak bat. Good base runner but a weak hitter. Betemit has been raking here coming down the stretch. If that continues what do they do? Aviles is really bad at second. I'd rather him be in the lineup, though. Betemit is a wildcard in this scenario. He was really good last year for most of last year. Need to second and third set. Not a Frenchy fan, but he has been better, too. Melky has been very outstanding all spring.
Starters will be relied on. Davies had a nice last start. The optimism I have is limited because of this group of starters. They may surprise. If they do pitch well then I truly think the Royals will eclipse 70 wins, easily.
Go Royals.
