I know, look at his last few seasons and there is not much to be excited about. Just like any signing like this, he was cheap and available for a reason. A 6.00 ERA last year doesn’t exactly give you much confidence of future success. The Kansas City Royals gave him a Minor League contract so there is little risk if he has nothing left. Homer Bailey will probably either show some potential or be released.
Bailey at one time was one of baseballs best starting pitchers. With “Two No Hitters” under his belt, he pitched well with what was an average to bad team.
