Royals -when they do win its a WS RING.
Hughes sucks and Johnson cant stay healthy
none of these three are anything more than a 3 or 4 on the rotation anyway. Ideally, we'd have a better 2 than Guthrie, but until we decide to spend more money, we'll have to wait until Duffy, Ventura or Zimmer prove they can handle it.
We arent making the playoffs anyway. Still too many holes in the lineup, and the bullpen cant be expected to repeat what they did last year.
wanted Johnson 1st, Hudson 2nd this off season.......wanted to avoid Santana and Hughes...think their contracts will be the largest pitching flops.
Vargas is going to be solid, if anything Guthrie over the 2nd and 3rd yrs of his contract would scare me worse...but they are so freakin close to the same pitchers..
If Vargas puts up 200 innings, that will keep those bullpen arms pretty fresh, and do believe that the extra innings the starters put up, really helped a bullpen that was good for 2 years prior. Problem will be Duffy on a short pitch count and Ventura would be on a inning count...so it might mean more inning for the bullpen down the season.
