Jays won 93 games and Price was responsible for 7 of those so this team without Price won 84 games and that includes only winning 50%. If you give the 2015 the type of defence and SP they ahve now I think they win more than 7 games before the all star break and thats why I think people are overeacting to how critical Price was. He was critical becuase of the position they put themselves in with a not so good first half.
BTW, Which KC starter did you pencil in for 15 wins last year?

Volquez and Ventura, based on Kansas lineup. Ventura was in Stroman territory though to be fair though and I'm pretty biased as I have him in a keeper pool in fantasy baseball.
KC isn't a really good example though. They had the best bullpen in baseball and they knew it from the get go. They have the luxury of not needing starters to go deep into the games.
