He can hit, but he's 37 and injury prone, and his defense is Francouer-esque.

There was a 6-22 stretch just prior to kids being out of school. The Royals were 23-32 and looked like the same old team at the beginning of prime family time. People were thinking "Same old Royals".

Both times, they looked like they were going to miss the playoffs, and then got hot at the right time, slipped in as a wild card, and kept on winning. In '97, it was a good team that underachieved until it got to October.
