I've been watching the Royals for almost 15 years now, and I don't know that I'd ever say they had a true #1.
Grienke was probably the closest. Duffy had a time when he was pitching like a true 1, but he was never consistent enough. I had high hopes for Ventura, but.... 
Fun fact: Paul Byrd is the first pitcher I remember liking growing up as a kid. I thought his wind up was the coolest thing ever. |
Greinke was a true #1 in the second half of 08 and throughout 09.
His issue is our rotation went from a #1 to four #5’s.
