2023 – A new beginning for the Royals. Matt Quatraro era begins. A year to see which of our young players will make up the core going forward. Can Bobby Witt Jr become a superstar SS or will go to the hot corner? Will Brady Singer take the next step forward? Will Salvy be Salvy? Will Big Vin or Pratto take first base? Will they find a position for MJ? Who else emerges from the youth movement? Not to mention the development of the new downtown stadium.

You're gonna see Lyles pitching 6-7 innings all season long. Although he will usually give up 5 plus runs in those outings. I might even sign up for 7 innings with "only" 5 runs allowed every time he goes out there.
I think by ton of innings they mean someone they can throw out there every 5 days and go 5 at least. [Reply]
