There's a good thread over at Royals Corner called "Who will unexpectedly pitch well in the pen?" We think the following guys will overachieve: Bale, Waechter, Rosa and Tejeda. We expect Farnsworth to shit the bed. He is going to be this coming year's Tomko. We can't really see HoRam having a very good year either. Soria will probably be the Soria we have come to know and love so quickly, but it would be hard for him to be as good as he was last year.
So who do you think will have surprising seasons out of the rotation? We like Davies to really step it up. And we think Greinke will be a Cy Young candidate. Meche should be about the same, which would be fine with us. Oh, and Hochevar should improve steadily. We don't know what to think about Banny.
Actually, that rotation sounds pretty solid, doesn't it? Remember when we were putting all our hopes into guys like Danny Reichert, Denny Bautista, Jeremy Affeldt, Darrelly May, Chrissy George..............?!
Who are your all-time favorite worst pitchers for the Royals?
Now the offense. We think Crisp and Jacobs will have better seasons than smart Royals fans think. We think Collaspo will be really solid but not get much credit. We think Gordon will go apeshit on the league. We think Dejesus will be great but get hurt. We think Guillen will be worth more money than last year. And we think Aviles will come back to Earth.
What do you think?
P.S. There's also a funny thread at Royals Corner right now that was started by some guy called HoRambo.
P.P.S. Davies works as a construction laborer in the off-season.

I think Bale will pitch better out of the pen than people think.
I am certain that HoRam will not be the answer to that question.
Hochevar and Banny can't be worse. Right?
My favorite terrible pitcher is Runelvys Hernandez.
I like Davies 100 times more now.
Scott Elarton was pretty terrible there at the end.
Affeldt always got on my nerves with his damn blisters. "Oh he'll be great if he can get the blisters under control."
I think they actually chopped off the tip of his finger to fix the problem.
Great readiing your blog
