00:00As we continue to go down, another team which is like, all right, smaller market here but there's

00:05a lot of fun to play with and that is talking about the Kansas City Royals at the plus 3.10

00:10price because it starts and it finishes in that lineup with Bobby Witt. You take a look at last

00:15year's statistics, he was absolutely phenomenal. 709 played appearances, 32 bombs, 31 stolen bases,

00:22a 3.32 average and a slugging percentage of 5.88. Every bit worth the amount of money that Kansas

00:29City paid him here. I love Bobby Witt and that's a fun lineup for me in Kansas City.

00:34I also love Bobby Witt. As you know, last year I spoke about him heavily to lead the league in

00:38hits which he came through at 19-1. So, I am all aboard the Royals. I am all aboard what they've

00:43done. Obviously, the end of the year last year without Vinny P who was hurt but they bring him

00:47back. They trade for Jonathan India who India's had his struggles with the Reds but give him a

00:51little bit of line of protection with Witt and Vinny P behind him. Sal Perez, they have the

00:56pieces that you want. Again, all the prices for the division winner are roughly the same. So,

01:00it's not like we're taking some long shot here with the Royals. I think the Royals are as live

01:04as ever to win it. I think Cole Riggins is a phenomenal pitcher and he's also going to be

01:08up there to win A.L. Cy Young. So, when you look at what they did last year, they went to the

01:12playoffs. They kind of had their first taste of that. They got to build on that and I think as

01:15a team we should be looking back each and every day essentially.
