Royals Roster Outlook

By: Import User

Updated: January 7, 2009

The Kansas City Royals tied a franchise record for futility last season as they lost 96 games. So what did they do to improve the team in the off-season? Nothing. Sure they added Chuck Knoblauch, but he is well past his prime. So the hopes of the boys in blue rest in their youth movement, which is definitely a bright spot. Tony Muser has 15 players on his roster that have not reached their 30th birthday, including Mark Quinn who is battling a rib injury that he sustained in the off-season.
