Year Two of the Matt Quatraro tenure. Time to take a step up this year. Active in free agency and trades this offseason. A new look pitching rotation and bullpen. Will the young players take the leap up offensively? Bobby Witt extension? New stadium? Will Vinny recover from injury? Salvy taking aim at the Royals record book? Will Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

Would be nice to get him back. He has been really ****ing good for the Royals.
24.1 IP - 1.85 ERA - 1.16 WHIP
He's only had one "bad" game, but that still wasn't that bad.
4 1/3 IP - 6 Hits - 3 ER - 2 Walks - 3 Ks - 2 HRs
That's the only game he's given up more than 1 ER and the only game in which he's given up a HR for us. He's been way better than I ever expected. [Reply]

If he had a better fast ball, then he'd be much more exciting. It's hard enough to hit on pitching prospects, but guys with 88-91 fastball velocity rarely excel at the major league level. [Reply]
