2008 Kansas City Royals Information

The year 2008 could be a mighty promising one for the Kansas City Royals. With their new manager, Trey Hillman, at the helm of this relentless team, things could very well change for the better after their dismal result in the past year’s American League Central division. Fans are expected to put their money on key players such as Alex Gordon, an up-and-coming third baseman who has grown from strength to strength in the past season. Billy Butler, infielder extraordinaire is also expected to help turn the tables and assist the Royals in their quest for glory. This gifted young player was renowned for being awarded MVP for the 2006 All-Star Futures Game and the team is hoping that his talents will lead them towards greater success in 2008.

The latest addition to the team, outfielder Jose Guillen, is also set to help the Royals emerge at the top this season. The Royals are desperate for a power hitter and Guillen, who was recruited with a 3-year $36 million contract, might just be their answer. The Royals are to make their presence known on Opening Day and show the Detroit Tigers what they are made of on Monday, 31st March 2008. The first match of the season will be held at Comerica Park. If the Royals wish to taste sweet victory come end of the September, they have to once again prove their worth and win the last game of the season against the Minnesota Twins at the Metrodome come September 2008.

The Kansas City Royals were not in their top form in the American League Central division at the end of 2007, as they finished last with a record of 69-93, a mere 3 points behind the Chicago White Sox. It is only fair that they give their fans a good reason to get the best tickets in the stadium, come 2008. For that purpose, vividseats.com will provide first-rate tickets. All you have to do is choose your desired seats from the Kauffman Stadium seating chart and you’re good to go. Watch out for a newly revamped Kauffman Stadium in 2009, and perhaps this will bring luck to the ever resilient Kansas City Royals!
