The Return for Cueto: John Lamb

The more I read about John Lamb, the more I like him.

Though Brandon Finnegan is the familiar name and Cody Reed has the fastest rising stock, Lamb could be the first of the trio to make an impact at the major league level. Royals fans were clamoring for him to get the call-up early this month after Kansas City had lost four straight. If not for a couple of more experienced options, he might well have gotten it.

With about 24 hours having passed since the Johnny Cueto trade broke and slightly less since we learned who the Reds were getting back, there has been plenty time for reaction pieces and scouting reports to come to the light of day.
