He struggled last night, but I think he eventually becomes a solid big league starter.That being said if Felipe is throwing a 3.5 at the 4 or 5 spot I can't imagine many teams with that deep of a rotation. Obviously a small sample size, but he had a 1.67 ERA in his 7 starts prior to underoing the TJ.
News: Paulino (elbow) threw 25 pitches during a live batting practice session Saturday, the Kansas City Star reports. (Sun Apr 28) Spin: It was Paulino's second such outing as he continues to recover from last July's Tommy John surgery. He hopes to work his way up to five or six innings by the one-year anniversary of his procedure and could join the big-league rotation shortly thereafter.

If nothing else, we'll have some nice, ready-made ML talent to flip for players at the trade deadline, should we be in a position to buy.

Possibly, but aren't decent bats usually rented at the dealine for solid, but not great prospects? Not pitchers with middle to top of the rotation potential. This whole buy at the deadline thing is new to me, but it seems like when we had bats they brought back relievers or Vin Mazzaro/Sean O'Sullivans.

Smith wasn't great last night, but his teammates didn't help him much.
He should have been out of the first with no runs scored. The HR by Aviles was legit, but it also was set up by a bloop hit. Jeff Francoeur cost the team at least 2 and probably 3 runs last night as well. Smith really should have been through the 4th with only 3 runs in.

The Royals haven't sold a highly valuable player at the deadline in quite a while. It's been a lot of complementary pieces. My hope is that they buy someone like Chase Utley (I'll keep banging that drum). It wouldn't cost the world in prospects, but it would take a decent guy (maybe someone like Orlando Calixte).

Did everyone hear about Johnathan Sanchez last night pitching for the Pirates? Facing the Cardinals he gave up back to back HRs to start the game, followed by a single, followed by throwing the ball at Allen Craig's head. He was promptly ejected. It is amazing that this guy was our 3rd starter to start the season last year.

I'd be shocked if he pitched another meaningful inning this year.
Dude has literally lost it. He has nothing left. I was pissed because the aforementioned game I had a Cardinals load for my FanDuel lineup and I had the first two guys who went back to back thinking I was a genius... and he literally lasted 4 ****ing batters. |

not only that
but even had we traded Melky for Guthrie that, at this point, would be considered a real good trade ...and think about that last year we were PISSED about trading Melky for Sanchez once we realized how terrible Sanchez was |

GMDM has done pretty well with his trades. Compared to the lady gut he looks like a genius. The Myers trade looks better everyday imo. Of course I'd Myers wins roty that will change
