With the 2016 season just hours away, some of the Kings of Kauffman staff came together to predict who will lead the Royals in a few major categories, as well as giving our take on specific players to watch.

Each of us has our own individual thought process on our selection, which lead to a pretty decent diversity of answers.

The writers contributing today include:

  • Co-Editor John Viril
  • Co-Editor Ryan Heffernon
  • Call to the Pen Editor David Hill
  • Kings of Kauffman staff writer Mike Vamosi

The categories we will be covering include:

  • Batting average
  • Home runs
  • Runs batted in
  • Stolen bases
  • Wins
  • Earned run average
  • Strikeouts

Finally, we will look at these individual players to watch for:

  • Royals Player of the Year
  • Royals Pitcher of the Year
  • A Royals breakout candidate
  • A Royal who could surprise

Keep up with the Kings of Kauffman twitter account (@KingsOfKauffman) to give us your take. After this post is released, we will open up twitter polls to see who you think will lead each category and reveal the results on Tuesday.
