It will be interesting to see if we try a trade, what teams are thinking now when the Royals want a player before the season.
I would not mind seeing the Royals also try out their new style a bit further. the goal is to not have a starter see batters for the 3rd time. With this style you do not have to have an elite num 1 starter, sure it is awesome. But it saves a lot of money and you can spend a little bit more elsewhere and compete. But if your pitcher is going lights out that game, you keep him in longer.
We signed Young as a starter/long relief, I would not mind signing one other pitcher for a starter/long relief and try out a four man rotation, and then alternate the two long reliefs depending on matchups or if one is not used early in a series. Then hit them with our relief.
Seems like a great way to save millions and use that money for securing the field spots Cain/Salvy/Hos..

If they're gonna go with starters only seeing the lineup twice, it sure as hell wont be with a 4 man rotation.
