The Royals' offense is performing much better of late. In an evaluation year, it's anyone's guess as to what it means, but it's certainly worth calling out.
Agree. At least what we’re seeing now won’t really impact the approach to the offseason. The players they were counting on are stepping forward. The holes that have been there the entire season are still there.
Mr. B, This idiot typist is actually becoming somewhat bullish on the offense and overall competitive- ness of the team, save for the bullpen.. I have officially despaired of Kowar and am rapidly getting there with Hearn and Davidson. May I suggest removing Lyles from the rotation and installing him as
full-time batting practice pitcher? At least then he would have some value. I sez Massey, Waters, Garcia, Fermin and Isbel are all keepers. I'd trade MJ despite his improvement with the bat; his glove is abysmal. I suspect Salvy is a goner. Hurry back, Vinnie.
It's nice that the Royals are keeping games competitive. It makes them more watchable in what has been a dismal season.
I'm going to take a close look at some of these guys in the coming weeks about "keepers" because, at least in my mind, there is still some uncertainty around the majority of this group. But for the time being, they're putting up a good argument.
Some encouraging signs are good, but what really matters is what happens this offseason. The Royals can’t afford to screw that up (again).

If by players, you mean non-pitchers, then I’d mostly agree.
