From their start in 1969, the Kansas City Royals have been one of the top teams in the American League. Boasting a history of ups and downs, the Kansas City Royals destroyed the competition and won the World Series in 1985, but the Royals have struggled in recent years. This season, the Royals are younger and hungrier than they have been in a long time with a chance to make last season’s 69-93 effort a thing of the past.
Now in a rebuilding phase, the Kansas City Royals landed several new key players, including free agent slugger Jose Guillen, who brings both veteran leadership and a vicious bat to the lineup. Catcher John Buck provides a threat on both sides of the plate, while Alex Gordon comes off a sensational rookie season to lead the offense. Zack Greinke and Brian Bannister form a formidable pitching duo with closer Joakim Soria finishing off opponents.
Manager Trey Hillman has been brought in from Japan to lead the Kansas City Royals into a new era of winning. Find out if the Royals skipper can help the Kansas City Royals snag the title in a wide open AL Central division, competing against the Minnesota Twins, Chicago White Sox, and a resurgent Cleveland Indians team to boot.
