The best thing for Singer and the Royals is that we have some other young pitchers who are listening, who are using their third or even more pitches, and are showing success as a result. If none of that was happening, a stubborn person like Brady might just smirk and know that we have no options. The success of Hernandez, Bubic, and Lynch, even if halting, and hopefully bringing Kowar up and giving him that chance as well, will hopefully give Brady "ears to hear" as time goes on.
Maybe this is me just not liking the way Singer answers questions about his struggles, but I think the best part about having the other pitchers isn't that it might cause him to listen but rather that there are other options. Like I said, I think it's fair to see if he does something over the offseason before passing full judgment, but if he comes to camp in March without a third pitch, there likely isn't hope.
Olivares goes up and down when he's clearly proven he deserves a chance. Singer stays when it's clear he should go down. Lynch, Bubic and Hernandez are clearly better at this point and Kowar is working on a 3rd pitch. I would put Kowar ahead of Singer. I dont think Singer in the bullpen would be any better.
