I'll take the over on innings and under on the ERA.

It's a very nice fit. And my Jeff Francoeur-to-Royals-like obsession with Kennedy can finally be satisfied.

Seems like he is very similar to what Santana was before coming to KC?

Ervin's peripherals were less sexy than Kennedy's. I think we just caught lightening in a bottle with ES. Kennedy, i think has a case of the Green-itus. Don't ask me where I get that, cause I don't have a source. I just look at his picture and think, "That dude smokes weed."

ZiPS likes him less....as a 161ip 160k-55bb 4.12era 0.9 zWAR.

But his signing would truly complete you, and put a nice bow on a whirlwind year in your household. :D

This is too bad. I had high hopes for Adams;

The Yankees claimed former Royals outfielder Lane Adams off outright waivers. Adams was designated for assignment Jan. 7 to clear 40-man roster space for the return of left fielder Alex Gordon.

Yankees claiming Royals players off waivers...amazing.

Nice. I think Butera is a big one. It certainly takes the pressure off of having to use that AIDS**** catcher we got from the Cards

Tony Cruz is going to win the backup catcher position, prepare yourself.

Without Butera drawing a walk in the World Series we wouldn't be here right now

You mean the tie game in the DS.

@JeffPassan: All winter, KC balked at what team officials say Lorenzo Cain wanted: a six-year deal. Lack of long-term pact means likely gone after '17.

Gordon says the Royals have "no chance" of resigning him.

That may be a big reason why we re-signed Gordon.

On the flip side, Cain is going to be 32 his first year of FA. Giving him a $100+ million deal through his age 37 season is probably a way bigger risk than re-signing Gordon. I guess it depends on how injury prone he is these next two years... we'll see how the market plays out.

@jcrasnick: Lorenzo Cain will make $6.5M and $11M in the next two years. No club options. He'll be free agent after 2017 season. #royals

I'd hate to see Cain go. He's probably my favorite Royal. Love the way he plays defense.
