Re: 2016 - Defending World Champion KC Royals

I think last night was the final nail in the coffin. Yost pulled most of his starters in the late innings and played a lot of young callus. To me this is getting a start on what they may have for 2017. It was a slim wild card shot at best and the last eight games sealed their fate. Injuries sure didn't help during the season but we traded away a lot of the future to win the series in 2015. it's now time to retool. Gordon was just starting to come around when he screwed up that wrist and put Moose out of action in the same collision. And for what it's worth I don't think Alex is seeing the ball real well when you look closely at his swings. Pitching was a problem the whole season and when the bullpen finally collapsed it got real ugly. Cain has not been at 100% for half the season. Perez was out also. Just too many vital cogs missing games. Plus the team had to be tired after the intensity of the last two years seasons. It's just time to say they tried and concentrate on next year.
