The Royals are awful. Brett, Bench and Cowens continue to hit the ball fairly well, but the pitching is brutal. Dennis Leonard seems to be on a roll, while all other starters toil. Steve Busby has been very hittable as his ERA nears 5. The bullpen has been pretty solid, however, they are rarely given leads to protect.
With the rotation now being in a full fledged "youth" movement, the team is clearly looking to next year.
Busby, Gura, Splittorff, Fitzmorris and Leonard along with Mike Torrez need to determine who wants to step up and help lead this team into the 2nd half of the decade. Leonard appears to be the frontrunner.
