Royals Predictions From The Kings Of Kauffman Staff

Royals Player That Could Surprise

Mike – Chien-Ming Wang

Another guy that was a Dayton Moore bargain bin pickup this winter who made the team.

He should be a versatile arm in the bullpen which can’t hurt.

John – Chien-Ming Wang

Wang has been lighting up radar guns at 94-95 after throwing in the 88-89 mph range the last five years.

Pitching guru Ron Wolforth has helped Wang turned back the clock 10 years on his stuff. Back then, Wang was a top of the rotation pitcher for the Yankees who won 19 games in back to back seasons.

Ryan – Reymond Fuentes

I have been on the Reymond Fuentes bandwagon since Jarrod Dyson went down. I want to see Dyson get legitimate playing time, for the sake of seeing how freaking historically good that outfield defense would be.

However, Fuentes offers a commodity that Royals right fielders aren’t exactly abundant in: upside. He’s a former first-round draft pick with some wicked bat speed and 65-grade speed.

It doesn’t hurt him that Paulo Orlando is not good.

Fans – Omar Infante

I’m pretty surprised by this one. He’s off to a good start, with two hits on Sunday night.

Here’s one guy who didn’t agree.

We’ll end with this, my favorite tweet from the night.
