• Kansas City– The Royals are chock full of young talent with Mike Moustakas, Eric Hosmer, Alcedis Escobar and All-Star Aaron Crow leading a very exciting group of young guys, while more top prospects like Lorenzo Cain hone their skills in…
Ubaldo Jimenez doesn’t have a stat line that will blow you away, with a 6-9 record with a 4.20 ERA in 20 starts. But some of that has to be attributed to the fact that he pitches half of his games at…
