The Kansas City Royals are generating some buzz as Dan Szymborski's ZIPS projections suggest they could be serious contenders in the AL Central. With a projected win total of 82-85, the Royals are tantalizingly close to competing with the Twins and Guardians. But here's the kicker: while Bobby Witt Jr. is shining as a potential superstar, the rest of the lineup seems to be lacking.
What do you think? Can the Royals truly compete for the division title with their current roster? Is it time for them to make bold moves to upgrade their corner outfield spots, or should they trust their young talent to develop?
Also, with the projections indicating a strong starting rotation and a league-average bullpen, how crucial is it for the Royals to bolster their lineup now? Should they be looking to trade for established outfielders, or is it better to invest in their promising prospects like MJ Melendez and Vinnie Pasquantino?
