In recent years, the Kansas City Royals have done a tremendous job in finding value in pitchers that were left on the scrap heap. Pitchers like Chris Young, Joe Blanton, Ryan Madson and Scott Downs were all key parts of the Royals success in the past couple of seasons, even if their signings did not exactly register as important at the time.
Naturally, given that success, one would look for those pitchers who could be next in line. On Wednesday, the Kansas City Star did just that, looking at non-roster invitees Dillon Gee, Chien Ming Wang, David Huff and John Lannan.
