Outside of Zack Greinke, who we almost completely ****ing ruined and chased out of baseball, what starting pitchers have the Royals drafted and developed into something since like Kevin Appier?
It's a damn short list if it even exists.
Chad Durbin?
Blake Stein?
Chris George?
Miguel Asencio?
Runelvys Hernandez?
Jimmy Gobble?
The only non-Greinke pitchers I can really think of that we drafted and turned into anything are guys that were mostly relievers. Danny Duffy was pretty good and had a couple of years as a strong starter. Jeremy Affeldt was useless as a SP, did fine as a reliever. Then guys like Hochever, Holland, and Herrera.
