30 teams in 30 days of quarantine: Kansas City Royals fantasy preview

Most of you, like me, have played DFS for quite some time. We have never seen anything like this before. A bare lobby. No upcoming contests. E-Sports tout are in hog heaven. Even most DFS touts are trying to become E-Sports touts. It’s nuts!

Most of you, also like me, still play season-long fantasy baseball. Some for money. Some not. Some just because it’s the only interaction you have with some friends anymore. Whatever the case, we can use this break in DFS to get us polished up for our fantasy baseball drafts, whenever those may be. Where started at the bottom with Detroit. Next was the Orioles. The 27th-ranked team in wins last year was the Kansas City Royals.

The Kansas City Royals won just 59 games last year. However, it was the pitching that was the problem. They almost had a 20-20 guy that hit over .300 and Soler came just two homers shy of 50!

The Royals were thrown into a rebuild with the shocking loss of Yordano Ventura a couple of years back and a devastating injury to Salvador Perez. 2019 was a lost season, but the Royals are closer than most 60-win teams to being a .500 team.

There are quite a few fantasy-worthy players on this team. The key is not overpaying or trying to get them at a value. You can’t win your season in the middle rounds, but you can sure lose it there.

Here we will examine the Kansas City Royals projected lineup and rotation, and who to draft and in what general spot. We will also take a look at prospects that could make their debuts and have a fantasy impact in 2020. The 2019 stats are in parentheses. Let’s get started!
