Royals win 87 games in 2103. You heard it here, first! [or Q times. I don't know.] 87-75 would be a great season... With our Royals luck, it still may not be enough for the playoffs. :-(

Big difference in what the manager can do in the following situations: 2012 1) Hochevar gets rocked. Pitches 3 2/3 2) Sanchez gets rocked. Pitches 2 1/3 3) Will Smith makes it through 6 4) Random fill-in gives you 5 1/3 Bruce Chen pitches. Hits 95 pitches in sixth but is sent back out to face the heart of the order in 7th (gets rocked) because the bullpen has worked an average of 4 2/3 innings in the past four days. 2013 1) Shields goes 7 2) Guthrie goes 6 1/3 3) Santana goes 6 4) Wade Davis goes 6 Bruce Chen pitches. Hits 95 pitches in sixth and gives way to a well-rested bullpen that has worked an average of 2 2/3 inning the past 4 nights. |

SURPRISE, Ariz. — Left-hander Will Smith and rookie right-hander Yorando Ventura, candidates for Kansas City’s final rotation slot, were among seven cuts made by the Royals before Monday night’s game against the Texas Rangers. Smith, 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA while holding opponents to a .179 batting average in four outings, was optioned to Triple-A Omaha. Ventura, a non-roster invitee who has made only six starts above Class A, was reassigned to minor league camp after going 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA in five outings. Kansas City also optioned right-hander Nate Adcock and left-hander Everett Teaford to Omaha. Right-handers Brian Sanches, Blaine Boyer and Michael Mariot were reassigned to minor-league camp.

Smith could be a candidate to bring up if our #5 guy struggles. I really hope both Paulino and Duffy come back healthy. Our rotation could be fantastic.

I hate francoeur. He would've walked if he just had a modicum of plate discipline.

Santana having some bad luck.
