Contending for the division title. Would be right there, I have little.

Greinke and Hamels are the only guys on the market who are Kershaw good. Greinke is the only one the Royals have a shot at.

Adding Greinke and Garza to the rotation next year would make it look like this:

Greinke
Garza
Chen
Hochevar
Odorizzi

with Will Smith, Mazzero, Verdugo, Adcock, Teaford, etc. all lurking in the wings.

That rotation would be good enough to contend in the AL Central.

But if they only add one pitcher, they would need some good luck for that to put them over the hump (Two of the following: Odorizzi breaking onto the scene as a solid MLB pitcher from Day 1, Monty figuring it out, Lamb making a Strasbourg-like comeback and making the team out of ST, Zimmer racing through the org).
