Not only are Guts' IP terrible, they're far from "cheap". We paid $9M for a replacement level starter and you guys are throwing celebration parties for him getting to pitch more than anybody else. Truly bizarre. |

Most of us realize what Guthrie is and accept him in that role, because we have no one better to fill that role at this time. Guthrie has value to this team. The rest of you would rather throw a hissy fit every time he pitches.

I would love for KC to have Corey Kluber take all of Guthrie's starts. Or David Price. But just because Jeremy Guthrie isn't those guys doesn't mean he has not provided value for the team over the life of his deal.

Now that I think about it, it may be time to give Medlen a shot in the rotation. Not sure how far he can be stretched out. Probably doesn't matter though. I assume Guthrie stays where he is at.

I think it's time to give Medlen a start.

We need to know if we are skipping a start on Monday or not before we can project who is starting when.

It's kind of impossible to tell at this point. Me and my friends were trying to time out one of his August home starts, and it's such a crapshoot at this point.
Also, I'll always celebrate Jeremy Guthrie. He's easily one of my favorite Royals of all time. I mean how many starting pitchers tweet out to local residents if anybody is down for a game of catch? I've attended his local church ward multiple time in Platte City, and he's an awesome guy. He was told by Steve Phillips after Stanford that if he went on his 2 year Church mission, he would never sniff the big leagues. A few million dollars later (and a game 7 World Series start), and he's still living the dream. Good for you JGuts. I'll always be a fan. |

I was one of the guys saying that Young's arm is dead and Guthrie needs to stay in the rotation. After watching today's debacle (and seeing how Young pitched last night), it's obvious who needs to go to the pen. Hopefully Ned agrees. |

You can't even begin to guess more than 10 days out. Something as simple as a rain delay could screw up your plans. Even a minor injury that is not serious but they decide to skip a start could change the whole thing.
