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?

If you can run like the wind, you hit the ball hard (and consistently hit it hard), you control the strike zone, and you hit a lot of line drives, like Bobby Witt, BABIP is generally going to be higher than average.

Garcia is fast. Hope he is better. Hes been a little disappointing.

This is gonna be a haul.

Paul Dejong to KC

cmh6476 · 07-30-2024, 01:50 PM

From stuff I'm reading...

Erceg has been a solid setup guy, with a 3.68 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 41:13 k:BB ratio and has kept runs off the board in his last 12 of 13 appearances. Throws triple digits, is 29 and comes with 5 years of team control.

He's played third and second in his career. Looks like an upgrade over hampson or Frazier.

Utility guy

siberian khatru · 07-30-2024, 01:55 PM

Erceg is intriguing. Converted position player.

It appears he would hit RHP better and Garcia hits LHP better. Some kind of creative platoon?

BWillie · 07-30-2024, 02:04 PM

What happened to Dejong in STL at the end? Looks to have a great start his first 3 years and then 2021 and 2022 was absolutely awful
