The KC Royals have a history of decent bullpen arms and great closers, but one stands above the rest in terms of team record-holding.

The best single seasons by the best Royals together at last.
With last decade now ever, we’ve seen a spate of “best of the decade” lists. MLB.com had an all-decade best MLB team (two, actually), and it got me to wondering who would be on the team for a Royals All-Decade team.
To create this, I’m taking the best single season per player per position, and taking a full 25 men (13 pitchers and 12 position players, as per the standard Royals...

With Spring Training right around the corner, here’s a look at some of the best pitches that Royals prospects have to offer.
Before we get started, I wanted to give a quick tip of the hat to Lookout Landing, our sister site covering the Seattle Mariners for SB Nation. Joe E.

Where does Freddie the Flea rank?
Shortstop. Considered by most, including myself, to be the toughest position to play. The position is physically and mentally demanding. In addition to having an excellent glove, the shortstop must be able to move to his right or left, direct cutoff throw traffic and have a strong arm. The shortstop is often considered the point guard of the baseball team. In modern times, we have been fortunate to have witnessed some of the best shortstops to ever play the...
