KC Royals: Mike Minor Could Become Reliever

Mike Minor has been a starter his entire career, and even became a top-of-the-rotation arm in Atlanta in 2013. That season, the then 25-year-old Mike Minor went 13-9 with a 3.21 ERA in 204.1 innings pitched with a 8.0 K/9.

However, Minor crashed to 6-12, 4.77 ERA in 25 starts the following season as he developed shoulder problems. He underwent shoulder surgery in May 2015 to repair his torn labrum and missed the entire season. The Kansas City Royals signed him last winter, believing that he would be ready to pitch by mid June.
