At one time it was thought that the Royals' lineup looked much better this season with the additions of Reggie Sanders and Mark Grudzeilanek and with Mike Sweeney taking on a full time designated hitter role. As it turns out, injuries have wreaked havoc on the lineup, and the healthy hitters just cannot score runs.
To address the problem, the Royals (predictably) fired hitting coach Andre David and replaced him with minor league hitting instructor Mike Barnett. That should help.
The Bell Curve
Actual Record: 5-19
Expected Record: 7-17
Runs Scored: 86
Runs Allowed: 146
Projected Record: 34-128
Pythagorean Record: 42-120
Pythagorean Winning %: .258
Let's go get 'em.
