Royals have a rotation of James Shields, Wade Davis, Ervin Santana, Jeremy Guthrie, and Hochevar/Chen/Mendoza. That rotation will lead the league in HR's allowed.
They're going to have to find some way to add a #2/3 starter, hope for Hosmer to play up to his potential, and get a good year out of Getz or Giavotella to compete for a WC spot. If that happens, they can finish above the White Sox.
