Of course the Royals have probably developed young pitchers worse than young hitters, which is saying something.

This is a sad Giants' fan breaking down their signing of Frenchee, it's pretty glorious.

No one ever asks Yost why Esky continues to bat in the #2 spot?

Danny Duffy update:

6 IP | 1 ER | 2 K/3 BB last night.

Since his first outing in Omaha

3.34 ERA
1.25 WHIP
29 2/3 IP
27 K
12 BB

Getting closer. His numbers are pretty close now to what he was doing in his last stint at Omaha, in 2011.

Give him a few more starts and have him continue working on command, and he's probably ready for the show.
