Do you know the background on the McMillon injury? I remember it being an elbow injury…but he didn’t get surgery. I guess, the question is are they just trying to have it heal on its own…knowing he is going to need TJ? Or it’s not bad enough now but he will. Just weird to me they would shut him down…and I totally get being cautious with him to start the year. But I would think if they knew it would need TJ they would have just done it already and get it over with. So curious if you know what the problem is or could be if not TJ related.
So it’s still kinda weird to say. But they are still going to need Lyles. I was hoping for Lynch…and rooting for Lynch but if he looks like same I’m ready to move on to Marsh. But even Marsh, no way you can expect him to throw 25 starts this year. I think Lyles can be used better and put up some better results. But they are still going to need him to make starts I think. Maybe a blah Lynch is just as good who knows I guess.
David, The old adage of never having enough pitching is for the Royals and every other team in baseball. Hopefully, some of the young pitchers like Sauer step up!
I was fortunate enough to be at the game yesterday and was wondering around the back fields. Did see Lyles throw what seemed to be a 2 inning simulated game. He looked ok against Nate Eaton and wasn’t sure on the other batter.
Maybe the best thing we can say about the bullpen is that there are a lot of options to find guys who can get outs. Of course, that also means there are a lot of chances to throw guys out there and find out that they stink.
Thanks for all the great insight. You’re easily my #1 source for the Royals and you’ve made me a lot smarter about baseball. Excited for the upcoming year and renewing my annual subscription is an automatic yes.
Hey David! Just a heads up, you've got the infielders chart from yesterday listed for the Bullpen. Thanks for your work!

Interesting set of plyers in your bullpen box... You trickster, you.
