Jason Hammel Gives the Royals Needed Stability in the Rotation

Related Topics: Jason Hammel, Pitcher

The Royals went out and signed a stable veteran pitcher to bolster their rotation, which could turn out to be an underrated signing.

My guess is that Jason Hammel would be among the first to tell you that he's not the sexiest pitcher in the world.

perfectly lovely.

So when I say he's "not the sexiest" pitcher, I mean his stuff isn't anything that blows your hair back. He doesn't have Jake Arrieta's slider/cutter, Jon Lester's cutter, or Kyle Hendricks' -- well -- I guess Hendricks' "stuff" isn't all that sexy either, but the results sure are.
