Kansas City Royals Midseason Awards: Moose or Salvy for MVP?

Now that we’re halfway, basically, through the season, it’s time to give out our midseason honors to the best (and worst) of the Kansas City Royals through the All-Star break.

The Kansas City Royals will kick off the second half of the 2017 season with a game against the Texas Rangers Friday night at Kauffman Stadium.

To put a bow on what was a ridiculously up-and-down first half (even by normal baseball standards) for the Royals, we’ve decided to hand out some midseason hardware here at Kings of Kauffman.

After a 10-20 start, it seemed difficult to imagine handing out any Royals awards at the All-Star break without a sarcastic connotation being attached to them. But now that the Royals will enter the second half of the season with a winning record, it’s time to give credit where credit is due.

Fair warning: Guys named Mike will be well represented in the coming slides.
