SURPRISE, Ariz. -- One of the intriguing young arms in camp will be right-hander Josh Staumont, who has been clocked at 100 mph.

Staumont has been a starter during his Minor League career, but the Royals wouldn't be afraid to try him in the bullpen to start the season. Staumont isn't on the 40-man roster, though.

"It's too early to tell with him," manager Ned Yost said on Sunday. "We just had our first live BP [Sunday]. We really like his stuff. We like his makeup. He's a guy we definitely will keep our eye on.
