The Royals are the kind of team that need their starters to go 8 innings so that the absolute elite closer "Soria" can close the game out.
Grienke can certainly go 8 innings, and you can be sure that he'll be winning 75-80% of his starts this season.
I was talking about Hochevar last season, If he can go 7 innings, he'll be winning over 60% of his starts.
The teams not too bad if you consider the estimated stats of these 2 starters.
If Butler lives up to his potential, him and Guillen make up a solid 3-4.
The division is not so tough beyond the Sox and twins.
