The pathos get much much more intense.

I agree, good one year option if we can get him to play 2nd.

Has anyone heard anything about Tim Collins? Is he 100% recovered from TJ surgery? Has he been pitching during spring training?

I'd be happy with Collins as our 6th reliever. Assuming we use Young as a starter, who's our other relievers?

Davis-Herrera-Hochever-Soria-?-?

Tim Collins isn't even on the radar anymore. We got Duffman and Brian Lynn for the pen, they both have nasty stuffy.

I count 11 pitchers pretty much guaranteed to make the roster out of camp;
Volquez, Ventura, Kennedy, Medlen, Young, Davis, Soria, Herrera, Hoch, Duffy, and Gee.

Collins would make 12. Flynn would make 13.

Wow Meatdragon has some issues.

Word is they likely will treat him like they did Hochevar last year -- he'll spend the first month of the season in the minors getting up to speed, then rejoin the Royals in May, if he's pitching well and there's an opening.

He's out of options. Wouldn't they have to put him on IR to send him to Omaha to pitch as rehab?

Yes, 30-day minor-league rehab assignment.

Ankiel Jr. Can Duff play OF?

How long does he stay in the rotation? Out by mid-May is my guess.

Mental midget

You can see it this spring too. Once he does something off, he's strutting around the mound, out of a groove and looking like he's pouting. Then he's just over-throwing pitch after pitch.

I am not sure how he'd transition to a bullpen guy but I do like his stuff. Seems this spring he can't even focus for an inning though.
