The KC Royals should adopt an idea from the World War II era Chicago White Sox: they need to use Chris Young as a “Sunday Starter”.
In the last two seasons, the soon-to-be 37-year-old Chris Young has started strong after entering the rotations of the Mariners (2014) and Kansas City Royals (2015) before fading with fatigue.
In 1939, the Chicago White Sox decided to start aging knickleball pitcher Ted Lyons only on Sundays due to a combination of chance (rainouts) and good results. A series of rainouts pushed back some early seasons starts in such a way Lyons pitched on Sundays, and Lyons got good results.
