Since the Dayton Moore era, the Royals hate wasting an asset. Even if its one they don't see a future with. I like your lineup, but believe they will fill opening day with last years talent. If for no reason other than to showcase the assets they plan on discarding one way or another. The Royals will try to acquire talent for them if they can. That said, barring a trade to thin the ranks, I expect to see Mondi, Santana and Dosier to get significant time on the field to start the season. I believe of the expected rookies, only Bobby Witt will get the opportunity to make the team out of spring training. This will especially be true if the CBA talks break down and Baseball is shut down along with all transactions in the league.

Thank you for answering my question David! Hadn't thought about the Kennedy comparison when talking about the Rodriguez contract. I would agree with you regarding the potential Benny extension. I feel like Isbel could put up similar numbers and cost us a whole lot less which would give us more money to spend on our current pitching in the future and/or a pitching free agent or trade candidate.
