Welcome back to Kings of Kauffman’s 12 Days of Kansas City Royals Christmas series. Every day through December 25, the team here will take turns coming up with their wish lists for the hometown squad. Today, we wish for pitcher Kyle Zimmer to have a completely healthy and effective season.
Kyle Zimmer is a study in perseverance…perhaps the ultimate such study in the recent annals of the Kansas City Royals. Despite his seemingly endless string of injuries since the club made him the fifth overall selection in the 2012 Amateur Draft, Zimmer’s quest to fulfill the promise of a first-round pick hasn’t wavered.
