even in situations where the starter gets yanked in the 3rd, yost tends to use a bunch of guys for 1 inning each rather than one reliever for 5. the royals bullpen just isn't built around long relievers. it's built around one-inning guys. some guys consistently get an inning (soria and herrera) and others come in for their inning every couple of days. but i don't know who these guys are you're talking about that are throwing 3 or 4 or 5 innings out of the pen.

By this time I would think that Royals fans would stop - Cosmo MU

lol. I trust Dayton Moore completely. I don't want anyone - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:13:37

It is somewhat FMB-ish I'll admit that - Cosmo MU

- 7/26 11:16:16

Oh I agree completely. - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:22:55

I just don't know why Moore isn't making a strong push for - Cosmo MU

- 7/26 11:32:31

It's silly, really. - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:34:38

Trade Gordon for Lynn. The Cards would get a LF they can - mizzou541 MU

- 7/26 11:36:17

Horrible move.(nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/26 11:51:08

I'd rather have Judge, but I'd take Lynn I guess. (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:41:54

Yeah Lynn and Darvish (nm) - mizzou541 MU

- 7/26 11:43:24

And Sonny Gray (nm) - Cosmo MU

- 7/26 11:44:22

lol stop that(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 7/26 11:36:58

They should trade Mondesi to STL for Lance Lynn(nm) - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:07:41

No thanks. - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:10:17

Lol, Lynn would be one of your best pitchers. (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/26 11:16:36

He would, I'm not denying that. - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:19:02

It's a no brainer. He becomes another top 4 starter. Either - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:18:24

Send Kennedy, Lynn or Cahill to the pen for long relief - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:14:27

how many long relief guys do you think we need in the - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:20:10

at least two, maybe three. In 14 and 15 they had Danny, - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:21:56

RE: how many long relief guys do you think we need in the - Cosmo MU

- 7/26 11:21:24

theyre thinking of using cahill as relief - colonel angus beef KC - 7/26 11:15:54

That's what Im saying. Let the season decide if it is - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:16:33

theres no way in any reality that kennedy is anything - colonel angus beef KC - 7/26 11:17:52

Long relief in the playoffs has to be a starter. Like Danny - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:19:09

In 9 appearances out of the pen in the playoffs 14 & 15 - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:31:32

he would have the 2nd lowest ERA on your team - TigerwTLP MU

- 7/26 11:13:14

Vargas is having a better year - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:17:14

It makes perfect sense if you are convinced that they - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:20:14

Yup, this is different than 2015 - Eggs MU - 7/26 11:23:01

We just got help to solidify our rotation. - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:28:41

I see your point too about another run producer but if your - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:30:42

That's fair, but you don't trade away your #1 prospect - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:33:31

Lynn wouldnt be the insurance guy. Cahill would be(nm) - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:34:12

I'm not denying adding Lynn makes the Royals better. - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:39:22

fair enough. I guess I just dont value Mondesi as much as - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:40:21

Which is silly. He may suck, but he's a young kid and - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:43:53

I don't think there's any guarantee that Mondesi is going - mizzou541 MU

- 7/26 11:42:42

there's never a guarantee with prospects. - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:47:36

I agree, forgot about the trade with SD for a minute(nm) - Eggs MU - 7/26 11:29:28

But if they trade for Lynn, they can send Cahill or a - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:32:21

i don't even know what this "long relief" is. - phrejd MU

- 7/26 11:36:12

Yost does that because he has to. He has no 3 or 4 inning - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:38:44

i think it's the opposite. he doesn't do that because he - phrejd MU

- 7/26 11:42:14

I guess we'll see how it plays out and that will tell us - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:44:23

agreed - phrejd MU

- 7/26 11:48:42

I don't think you can ever have too much pitching - Eggs MU - 7/26 11:33:37

gordon is the elephant in the room - phrejd MU

- 7/26 11:38:23

Unfortunately I think they're tied to him for the - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:41:09

i don't even want them to bench him. i just want him to hit(nm) - phrejd MU

- 7/26 11:43:03

Surprising (and impressive) that he's only hitting .203 - Cosmo MU

- 7/26 11:46:52

Right, I just think there's no choice there. - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:45:10

Gordon is who he is at this point in his career - Eggs MU - 7/26 11:46:42

I was hoping last year had more to do with his health - kmawv8 MU - 7/26 11:49:08

He saves them runs. That's all(nm) - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:42:16

agree, he is(nm) - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:39:10

I see that as well(nm) - hefeweizen MU

- 7/26 11:34:35

Inconsistent offense has been an issue - Eggs MU - 7/26 11:36:29

all about racking up Ws and eating innings is what - hefeweizen MU
