I think you guys are nuts. Look, we got 2 proven Major league pitchers, one a bona fide staff ace. We gave up two minor league prospects that may or may not pan out at the ML level.
The Royals are literally a competitive ballclub RIGHT NOW. THIS MINUTE. They have totally revamped their starting pitching. Their bullpen was already a strength. If the young guys continue to improve, this club will compete for division titles from now until....
Yeah, yeah, you've got Shields for two years. In two years you're also hoping to have your homegrown talent ready to step up-or you can always re-sign him. If you're winning it won't be as tough as you think.
I just don't see the downside unless you thought you could get a stud staff ace for peanuts, in which case I don't know what to tell you. Good pitching beats good hitting, and we should have a good staff now. I'm pumped for the season.
