Chone Smith went back recently and calculated the WAR (df's description in the comments) for all the batters back to 1955. I have finally gotten around to getting the single season and overall totals (link to the complete lists - let the comparisons begin) for the top 100 Royals in lifetime at bats. This worked out to 563 at bats and I will add to the list as time permits. So without further ado, here are your top (and bottom) 10 Royal's seasons and careers when measured with WAR.
