We're also really young, no? So that bodes well for injuries, or lack thereof.

HAHAHAHAHA, what?!? They might be on the hook for his age 41 and 42 seasons?

This contract is hilariously awful. The only explanation is the Tigers old eccentric billionaire does not expect to be alive in 10 years.
As I thought earlier tonight.

This is just an awful deal for the Tigers in the end.

I will make the same offer this year. If we win the AL and go to the World Series, not only will I eat a bowl of my own sick. I will ask Duncan and Al North and every other long suffering Royals fan to chip in and make it a true bed-pan. I ain't even playin.
Dude, instead of eating a big shit sundae, I have a better idea. If this happens, you have to get an "Our Time" tattoo on your lower back or forearm. Your choice.

The rotation is worse at ONE spot. Probably.

Vargas will give them similar innings pitched as Santana. He likely posts an ERA at least .50 higher, but probably not more than 1.00 higher. The difference you're talking about if Vargas comes in at 3.75 is 12 runs... or pretty close to an extra run every 3rd start. It's not the huge gap it might seem like initially.

The Royals have a good shot to be BETTER in the 3 slot (Ventura vs. Guthrie).

The Royals will be better in the 4 slot (Guthrie vs. Mendoza+Chen).

The Royals will be better in the 5 slot (Chen all year vs. Davis+Chen+Duffy+Ventura).

I think people forget how bad the 39 starts KC got from Davis and Mendoza were.

They combined for a 5.42 ERA, 1.66 WHIP.

They gave up 29 percent of the runs surrendered by Royals starters in just 20 percent of the innings.

The hope is that although the pitching might be overall weaker, they will get better run support because the lineup is better.

Unfortunately, I'll be working. :grr:

I'll be sure to follow along with the Royals GDT and gamecast.

Opening Day is the only religious holiday I observe. I'll be off work.

I'm the same way with March Madness.

Did anyone else put some money on the Royals? I've got $250 on the over 82.5

Chen - I'm amazed at how much blood we have squeezed from that turnip.

Working Monday so I can have Friday off for the Home Opener.

That's our Vegas number? I'm surprised it's that high. I was guessing 80 or so. Of course, that's the number of wins I'm predicting so I'm probably seeing it through my eyes. 82.5 seems high.
