Interesting Take on the Royals

I found some spotty internet. Nice job on the Farm thread by sfg.

Ran across this last week. Found it interesting. The Royals are a pitching and defense team like the Giants have been. Thoughts?

Royals vs. PECOTA

It sounds like a mixture of each of our first two World Series teams:

2010-dominant bullpen
2012-dominant defense/scrappy hitting

Notably, like our 2014 team, their pitching is a question. Can Cueto can be their Bumgarner? We were able to ride starting pitching through 2010/12. Can the Royals ride the bullpen in a similar way?
