A little more than a week remains before decisions must be made by the Royals brain trust, and the choice whether or not to include veteran Homer Bailey in the starting pitching rotation figures to make things interesting.
Bailey pitched four scoreless innings in his best outing of the spring and worked around the leadoff batter reaching base in each of the first three innings. He allowed four hits and one walk in a 6-2 split-squad win over the Milwaukee Brewers in front of an announced crowd of 9,855 at Surprise Stadium on Saturday.
The Royals have repeatedly expressed confidence in Bailey and his experience.
