Kansas City Royals feel confident ahead of next Major League season – MLB News
Kansas City Royals have taken many bold steps this offseason. They brought new game plan as well as some new faces in the franchise. Nevertheless, the Royals now feel quite confident going into a new Major League Baseball season.
Last year, the Royals bitterly lost during the regular season and could not get the post season spot. This was itself a huge setback for the Royals management who always believed finishing the season on a high note.
As the season ended, the Royals’ front office started evaluating their several players as later they streamlined a policy which will overlook all underperformers every season.
Not only the Royals’ brought a new offensive game plan but he also signed some of the most experienced Major League players. Starting pitcher James is one of them who was signed by the Royals this offseason.
"[Shields] was the leader of our staff when I first got called up, and he's the type of guy that rubs off on other people. In any situation, regular season and postseason, it was, 'We're going to go out and win every game -- it doesn't matter who we're facing.
The reason for our success is our approach, and that's the mentality he brought to all of us," 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner David Price lately said in the media.  
Kansas City Royals, Jason Kendall, a 15-year Major League veteran, said and explained in the media, "He's a special player. He's got a chance to do some amazing things. With the talent he has, he has a chance to be an All-Star for a long time."
James Shields last played for the Tampa Bay Rays and achieved good numbers. He showed consistent plays and went hitting at 3.52 ERA along with 15-10 win-loss, 223 strikeouts and 1.17 WHIP.
His career stats have also been consistent since his arrival in the league with 3.89 ERA along with 87-73 win-loss, 1250 strikeouts and 1.22 WHIP.
Experts believe that this will be healthy sign for the Kansas City Royals as Shield possesses right kind of abilities to lead them into the majors.
