The 2024 season for Paul DeJong with the Kansas City Royals has certainly been a rollercoaster ride, and it raises some intriguing questions about his future and the Royals' direction. After bouncing around from the Cardinals to the White Sox and finally landing in Kansas City, DeJong's performance has been a mixed bag. He started strong, showcasing his power with a solid August, but then fell off dramatically in September.
What do you think contributed to this drastic decline? Was it fatigue from the long season, or perhaps the pressure of trying to prove himself with a new team?
Looking ahead, how do you see DeJong fitting into the Royals' plans for 2025? Given that he finished the season with a positive bWAR for the first time since 2022, is there potential for him to bounce back and become a key player for the Royals, or is he destined to be a role player at best?
Moreover, with the Royals looking to build a competitive team, should they invest in DeJong as a long-term option, or should they explore other avenues?
Let’s also talk about the broader implications of his performance. How do you think the Royals can better support players like DeJong who have shown flashes of brilliance but struggle with consistency?
Share your thoughts, predictions, and any experiences you have with players who have had similar ups and downs in their careers. What does it take for a player to regain their form after such a slump?
