I don't think he's a lifesaver by any means, but it is someone who can fill some starts and innings this year.
And if he pitches really well for KC... you try to bring him back cheap.
Only way this bothers me is if Moore points to this as his move to "Acquirie a pitcher," which I doubt...

Agree with all of this. Moore has to believe this was a dump of Sanchez and getting anything useful is gravy. If this guy turns out to be a decent pitcher you can bring back next season as, say, your #4 starter.....great. But still understand we need two more guys. Maybe Guthrie holds down the fort next season on a 1 yr deal while Lamb/Duffy/Paulino recover.
