Brian Anderson is making a strong case for LVP:

B. Anderson (1-4): 5IP, 13H, 8R, 4ER, 1BB, 2K, 2HR

Giving up nearly three hits per inning definitely make you the frontrunner for least valuable player.

Anderson has made 8 starts this year. This is his best line of the year:

April 25 vs. MIN (L): 7.2IP, 9H, 4R, 4ER, 1BB, 1K, 0HR

This is his BEST performance in eight starts. The Royals' ACE. Their big offseason signing.

This fact is all you need to know to understand the dismal state of the Royals.
