I know you're concerned about that, still not sure why it is such a concern for you. Is it possible? It's always possible.
I think it's a low-end risk, and certainly worth the reward you gain compared to extending Duffy or signing a FA. But here's some language that should appeal to you:
If you don't adjust for TJ risk, he's projected to be worth 140 million over the life of that deal.

It's a risk the Royals have to take, no doubt.
Petro kept saying last winter to extend him and make him a starter. Had we done that we'd have gotten him half off. Ventura is the real concern anyway, he can't pitch like this again next year. He was hot garbage and his arm is way too good for that |

Meh, there’s injury risk with every starting pitcher in today’s game. Knowing the frugality of the Royals I wouldn’t be surprised if they have an insurance policy for him like they did with Vargas. With Duffy’s upside and the Royals inability to buy or develop reliable starting pitching, this is a move that a small market team like the Royals has to make.

That's a very affordable extension for a guy who can front your rotation. Quote:
Curve and change both graded out nicely, just needs to show consistency with them. I also think adding a slider or cutter would be a big benefit for Ventura... something else that looks like his FB coming out of the hand would help the fastball a bit.

You're asking guys to unnaturally throw a ball 90 mph. There's always going to be a risk of arm injury when you sign a pitcher to a big contract, unless you go after a bulldog like James Shields.

Fun fact--There are only 4 pitchers left on the team that were on the 2015 WS roster. 14 total players.
Duffy, Ventura, CY, Herrera Salvy, Butera Hosmer, Esky, Moose, Colon, Mondesi Gordon, Cain, Paulo Not on WS roster, but played sometime during 2015, still in organization: Vargas, Gore, Cuthbert, Scott Alexander, Miguel Almonte No, Dusty Coleman is no longer in the organization. He's now in the Padres system. |
