Being a fly on the walls inside Kauffman Stadium last week would have been interesting. That's when the Kansas City Royals made the necessary decisions to set their 40-man roster for both arbitration and Rule 5 draft purposes. Some of those moves, like tendering deals to Vinnie Pasquantino, Maikel Garcia and Lucas Erceg, passed with nary a shrug or second thought.
Others, though, left close and casual observers alike scratching their heads. Especially curious, aside from keeping and giving Jonathan India a new deal, were some of the club's pitching decisions.
Why, for example, did the Royals keep Bailey Falter?
