I told them not to do this. But since when does anyone listen to me?
Just days ago, I wrote a piece here on numberFire that suggested the Royals not go "all-in" on a starting pitcher. My argument was that I didn't think it was smart for a small-market team like Kansas City to use up its meager resources to grab one of the elite starters on the market, when they already had a 96.0% chance of making the playoffs, a 90.0 % chance of winning the division, and a 10.2% chance of winning it all (third-highest percentage in MLB).
