In response to "Offshore favorites to win MLB Divisions: Royals, Blue Jays, Astros, Cubs, Mets, Dodgers" by Strongbad

The Royals are fascinating to me in that Pecota and Fangraphs not only don't have them winning the division, but have them coming in last.

PECOTA has them on 75 wins, Fangraphs on 77.

- that's what makes it fascinating--there's something about the Royals that defied analysis -- nm - ML Apr 5, 10:39 4
  - The Braves (and the early 90s Reds) were really on to something with their late inning relief. -- nm - David Apr 5, 10:45 1
    - The late 90's Yankees. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 10:50
  - it is generally hard to factor in defense correctly. - groiny Apr 5, 10:41 1
    - Right, contact is something that the metrics don't account for yet which is what they do best. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 10:43
I think the teams in the division made some significant improvements, while the Royals kind of stayed put. -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 10:09
