Kansas City Royals @ Cleveland Indians 6/10

Anyone notice that Farnsworth has his era down to 3 now?

Please god let him keep that up and have some team want him at the trade deadline. It'd be great to free up that $4.5 million for next year. Anything else in return would be icing.

They are going to have to put him in leverage situations soon. If he keeps that up in leverage spots (like a tight 8th), then I don't want to trade him, no matter the size of the deal. The rest of the bullpen looks like hell and we need someone to help.

However, given that we probably will not catch up with the Tigers, I wouldn't complain if we got a decent hitting prospect.

Has there ever been a pitcher to suddenly figure things out in the middle of a season at age 33?

I'm going to play the odds and say he'll return to form, at least next year if not immediately this year. And given the cheaper, better options out there for bullpen arms, I'd rather have the $4.5 mil to play with.

I would always trade relievers if I could get a good return. They're too inconsistent from year to year. Example A: Mahay. Nails last year and shit now.

I'm guessing if they continue to avoid any pressure situations for Farnsworth, it's obviously an attempt to get some team to bite on a trade offer, with the Royals desperate to get rid of his terrible contract, which Moore just gave him, ironically enough. Oops.

Dude has proven time and again throughout his career that he's a head case. When the going gets tough, he ****ing melts.
