That's where the depth comes in. Of course, it's possible that a couple of two or three of the starters become consistent seven or eight inning guys to relieve the strain and there will be blowouts from either side for a long reliever to get some innings, but the Royals seemed to have some problems getting the ball to Holland for the 8th. (paragraph) Coleman will probably be in the mix, Jeffress I just don't know. He's in love with the radar gun and the harder he throws the straighter the pitches get. I see him in Omaha to start the year as back up for injury, probably joined by Chapman and Woods, maybe even Collins if he can't gain command. Interesting to see how the new pitching coach deals with the walkers, that could make the season if he can teach them to command and control. I'm ready for spring training:) @michael.allen.engel True, but you can’t use all three every night. That’s where the depth comes in.

For the guy at Stew, I would remind that the small market Royals currently have quite a bit of payroll room, so $4 million is a lottery ticket at worst and an excellent investment at best. (paragraph) I like the Broxton signing, gives the team space to move Crow to Omaha to convert to starter if needed and, with the low innings Royals starters tend to post, gives an extra big arm for the 7th and 8th innings. Kelvin Herrera, Broxton, and Holland bridging to the hopefully rejuvenated Soria could lesson the impact of Duffy, Paulino, and Sanchez hitting 120 pitches in five or six innings. If any team needs an extra set-up man it will be the Royals this year. My guess is that is what GMDM is thinking. I agree with him. Good off season thus far.
