Its time to blow it up...... The Royals don't gave enough starting pitching to compete. Its time to cut bait on a number of veterans like Soler and Wade Davis and find out if guys like Lovelady, Olivares, etc have anything. I'd also be ok with Pratto and Witt getting service time this year. If I'm Dayton Moore, I'm going into sell mode, tho I dont think there is much on the roster to bring anything of real value back, with Benintendi injured, Duffy coming off injury, Minor being fairly ineffective...... and I dont see the point of trading young players under long term control like Brentz. So I guess its more like DFA mode.... Santana may be the only piece worth moving. I'd also like to see Dylan Coleman get MLB action this year. The injuries are so disappointing..... Balanos, Rivera.... you want to see if these guys can be contributors and they come up and go straight to the injured list. Definitely a rough stretch.
This is pretty baseless speculation, but:
1) Maybe some hitters are uniquely vulnerable to pitches with artificially inflated spin-rate.
2) Maybe O'Hearn is one such hitter.
