Have heard that he has control, can pump in strikes, but doesn't always have command. Got that from Rany, I think. Been hearing anything on Montgomery and long-toss? I thought he had turned his season around, then the wheels fell off again. If you have sources, that would be a good story. I suspect that it is a wider problem within the Royals' system than just Monty. Good work, appreciate the effort. @michael.allen.engel What do you think about Herrera?

Treanor has had a decent year, so may get an offer from somebody. @michael.allen.engel I think they keep Pena for the bat and splits, although Treanor has that high OBP, which they like.

I have a feeling they resign Treanor and let Pena go though...just how front offices seem to work, Treanor's weak bat or not. @jim fetterolf I’ve always felt that Pena wasn’t given a fair shot last year and I think his upside to develop into SOMETHING could be good to have.

Perez has shown some split issues against righties and Pena is a switch hitter whose defense is much improved. As for Kelvin Herrera, if he progresses that should make the decision to move Crow or Holland to the rotation a little easier.
