Presumably if KC doesn't trade Homer Bailey as they're taking the field, we'd be on an 11 game losing streak.

120 might be a stretch, but 110-115 is certainly in play.
Here's the scary part: the kids aren't really hitting in the minors. Sure, there's loads of pitching, mostly in AA, but the bats aren't heating up in the minors, either. There's only two players having promising seasons at the plate: Dawel Lugo and Willi Castro. Jake Rogers has an OPS of about .720, and Daz Cameron is under .700. The MLB average this season is somewhere in the neighborhood of .740-.750 or so. There's not much hitting in AA to write about, either.
I'm starting to wonder if this is going to work. We need bats, like, yesterday.
