The KC Royals have a lot of former starters in the bullpen. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. I’m just saying it’s not a good thing.
The KC Royals bullpen problems have been discussed ad nauseum here (and here and here and here too), so piling on at this point is the lowest low-hanging fruit there is.
Fortunately, I am very much here for it.
The cosmetic changes (dropping Matt Strahm, adding Jake Junis and Scott Alexander) may help stem the tide—Junis and Alexander both performed admirably, albeit in very low stakes, Wednesday against Oakland.
