A few weeks back, the Royals signed Greg Holland to a $1.25 million deal, hoping to bolster a fractured bullpen at a cheap cost, a recurring theme of the past two off-seasons. For what its worth, Holland’s WHIP of 1.374 in 2019 would’ve been third-best in the Royals’ bullpen behind Tim Hill and Ian Kennedy. His 2020 projection of 9.4 SO/9 ranks second-best (behind Scott Barlow’s 10.2) among all Royals’ relievers on staff. Take that for what you will, but Holland is an upgrade for whatever Kansas City had planned in the latter innings.
How will the Royals use their bullpen in 2020?
