I mean, I would.

There's middle ground here. Pitchers are so hard/weird that sometimes a scenery change turns a guy with tools into a stud.

KC made some mechanical adjustments with Ragans and it clicked. Sometimes you pop a Jake Arrieta. It looks like KC may have done that.

And Chapman had a 41% strikeout rate last year. You're going to get somebody with some upside for a piece like that in a deadline deal. It paid off for both teams. The Rangers had a parade.

This is pretty neat. Don't know if it's been around awhile or not, but it's the first I've seen of it.

This is super interesting. The story of spring training has been the horrible new jerseys but it turns out the Royals lobbied hard to keep the old full size letters on the back. They weren't given a choice but they lobbied until Nike and MLB caved. Funny seeing fans of all the other teams complimenting the Royals and saying their teams need to do the same thing.

Also Royals pitching prospect Christian Chamberlain has a torn UCL.

Chamberlain didn't even make the Royals' top 30 in the Baseball America Prospect Handbook.

He could have helped the Royals as a reliever this year though.

Salvy and Bobby both have dongs today. Ragans goes 3 scoreless with 3 strikeouts.

There goes Matt Chapman.

Went to the game today. Bobby and Melendez with big dongs. Renfroe had horrible ABs.

Wacha changed speeds great minus one pitch (no doubter HR).
