Now Newcastle is being a disaster on the MLB board.
Listen, I'm a diehard Royals fan.
The Royals and Pirates have been equally bad for a long time. Both teams are always drafting high first round picks for years. But they've made alot of bad personnel moves as well.
Anyway, back to the Royals. They have a very good offense, a very good defense, a really good bullpen. However, they don't have proven starting pitching. They have young pitchers and some decent veterans who are 4-5 starters at best. They can win 75-80 games, but if they want to compete with Detroit, they need to improve the starting pitching. They have young starting pitchers, but they need to prove themselves.
