No.

He needs to be gone. His shick has ran its course here. He just need to leave the organization and go somewhere else.

I have no issue with Singer. I would have drafted him there as well.

The issue I am having is the Royals organization philosophy on pitchers from the lower level of the minor leagues to the MLB level.

Since we'll never know how Yordano would have turned out, so far up to this point, none of these pitchers under Dayton Moore that he has drafted, has panned out well as a legit top of the line starter. They have either:

a) flamed out

or

b) moved to the pen and had some success there.

That 2011 class was a huge bust.

Yeah it’s pretty much Detroit Lions drafting WRs pre Megatron bad. Since Grienke, we’ve basically had the potential of Ventura and that is it. Some people throw Duffy in there but that’s got to be based on longevity more than anything else. I like the guy as a person and respect his love for KC but he’s a .500 pitcher with basically a 4 ERA (career). So over the past decade plus, from a development of starting pitcher standpoint, you have:

1. What we all believe Yordano would’ve been

2. A serviceable 3/high end 4 in Duffy

3. Squadoosh

That’s pretty pathetic.

The Royals organization hasn’t done a good job of developing pitchers since the 1980s.

Kevin Appier in the 90s and Greinke in the 2000s. Was about it.

Are they working on a change up for Brady?

@alec_lewis: The Royals traded Kelvin Gutierrez to the Orioles for cash considerations. Guti had been DFA’d.

This isn't a drafting issue. It's a player development/coaching issue with our pitching problems over DECADES.

Yep, I remember one of our top pitching prospects having issues with the organization over long toss.
