We could talk about a lot of things—timely hitting, timely defensive mishaps, Alex Gordon in center—that came out of Thursday’s series finale for the KC Royals in Tampa Bay. But the only story that matters is that of Jason Vargas.
Wow.
Jason Vargas is fast providing a conundrum for the KC Royals.
As he keeps throwing zero after zero—no earned runs allowed in four of seven starts, 15.1 consecutive scoreless innings—he drives his value up. Homeboy is gonna get paid in the offseason, and that’s if Dayton Moore doesn’t lock him down right now.
