Once again, the Royals lineup produced below the league average. Today, a look at five statistics that tell the story of how they got there.
Who do you want playing right field in 2022 since it was such a void in 2021? How many more games would a league average fielder/hitter combination have won the Royals in 2021?
They could hit the market, but I wonder if they won’t revert to their original 2021 plan and have Merrifield out there.
A league-average RF wouldn’t have pushed them to contention, but they would have lurked a little closer to .500. Maybe 3-5 more wins.
