This unimpressive list's saving grace is that four of the seasons were produced last year. Toss in Moustakas and a person could probably make the argument that five players could hit 25+ this year. I think at least three will - Hosmer, Gordon and Butler. Yes, Butler. For what it's worth ZiPS doesn't project any of the Royals to hit 25.

I have posted the 392 season stat on Royals Review- along with this one: There have been 425 seasons of 75 walks or more since a Royal passed that mark. (Jose Offerman, 1998)
I truly thought both droughts were going to end last year, but at least the home run drought should end this year.
That walk stat is sad. Somewhere Bob Hamelin is crying.
Wow that's pithetic. It's one thing when Royals Stadium was huge, but they've brought in the fences since the days of Balboni & Brett if I remember right.
Has anyone hit 30 since Dye in 2000? I'm trying to think of one, but I can't remember anyone doing it.
Yep, Dye was the last.
