Lucking into good decisions...
So, with the "injury" to Grienke, we are going to start Affeldt and Bautista. I'm quite happy about this, Affeldt in particular. I feel he still has a chance to develop and we just need to give him the opportunity. Being rushed to the majors is tough, and I think it is particularly tough on pitchers who get here early and fair poorly. If they lose their confidence, they need the chance to regain it.
Anyway, I've wanted to draft one of them in a fantasy draft, but I can't justify having either on one of my teams. Sad huh.
Regarding the waiver claim for Graffinino, it sucks. We should have kept McEwing and saved the money. Spending an extra million is just a waste here.

Well, it seems for the Royals for every lucky decision there are 10 bad decisions.
How about this one.
Shane Costa, 24 year old outfielder who has played only 4 games in AAA, and never broke 0.800 OPS in A ball or higher is going to make the Royals as an extra outfielder. Aaron Guiel on the other hand will be sent down to the minors.
What could justify this maneuver? Perhaps Spring training stats?
Costa: .289/.317/.421
Guiel: .359/.471/.622
The only explanation I can come up with...Baird must be planning a hostile takeover of the Royals. First devalue the team as much as possible and then move in for the kill. Well, the alternative is to question the baseball knowledge of Mr. AB, and we all know that's an impregnable area.
