Lets review how the Royals have improved and the Tigers have declined maybe this will ease your concerns:
Royals Improvements:
-Wade Davis is no longer in the starting rotation
-A black hole no longer exists at 2nd base
-We have a legitimate leadoff hitter, not someone like Escobar who refuses to use the opposite field and hope can bat .250
-Billy Butler will most likely improve upon last seasons results
-Yordano Ventura is the # 5 starting pitcher (probably win AL rookie of the year)
-Our Bullpen remains stackedwith Louis Coleman, Greg Holland, Aaron Crow, Wade Davis, Tim Collins, Kelvin Herrera, and Patrick Shuscter/Francisley Bueno
-Omar Infante > Chris Getz
- Outfield of Aoki, Gordon, Cain
-Bench of Dyson, Maxwell, Hayes, Valencia
-Did I mention no Chris Getz?
-signed Jason Vargas and playing behind solid defense and bigger Kauffman stadium his numbers could improve
Tigers on the decline
-new manager who has never managed
-traded a key starting pitcher in Doug Fister, and got nothing valuable in return
-lost their starting shortstop for the season who played excellent defense, and now most likely replaced with someone who will hit .240 if they're lucky
-Verlander is having elbow issues
-No way Anabial Sanchez repeats last season's performance
-Victor Martinez is 36
-traded for Ian Kinsler, numbers were mostly inflated by playing in Texas, and will see a significant decline.
-Have a rookie starting at first
-bullpen sucks

Our starting rotation will be a major issue this year.
Vargas?
The dude is a career 4+ ERA pitcher who is in his 30's.
Chen and Guthrie are poised for major drop offs. I don't see much chance that they are able to repeat their 2013 seasons.
