If I had my druthers, on great Royals STARTING pitchers (and I've literally seen them all) I'd say top ten are:
1) Bret Saberhagen
2) Dennis Leonard
3) Steve Busby
4) Greinke (I predict he'll throw his first no-no next year)
5) Paul Splittorff
6) David Cone
7) Mark Gubicza
8) Danny Jackson
9) Larry Gura
10) Kevin Appier

No love for Larry Gura, Bud Black or Charlie Leibrandt?
