Interesting we just picked up two guys who were critical in the A's WC game, but from the other dugout.

True. But Hammel IS likely to perform at Ventura's rough floor level... and at Chris Young's ceiling. Upside needs to come from Karns and Duffy. Vargas, Kennedy, and Hammel should be solid, known quantities. Also sets up a dynamite 8th-9th situation by keeping Strahm in the pen for another year. Would be interesting to see if they'll use Strahm less frequently but for longer stretches (2-3 innings). Would help him keep that arm in shape for a move to the rotation in 18.

On paper, the rotation is better than it was last year.

I like the move. I haven't been able to get too excited about this season, especially after what happened with Ace. But this does give me a little bit of optimism and hope that with a little luck we can compete with Cleveland.

Do the Royals sign a reliever now? Or are they done? Happy with the signing.

I doubt they sign Wood now - he wants to start, too.
Maybe they pick up another bargain bullpen arm, but I think the shopping is done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't think Hoch is even ready for the start of the season so maybe they get him on a cheap prove it deal and he comes back in May. Otherwise I think they're done.

It's definitely a risk and a lotto ticket, but the Royals will need to win on a few scratchers to make it deep into the playoffs again. Last edited by Chiefspants; 02-05-2017 at 10:36 PM.. |
