I will admit to being surprised when the KC Royals chose to protect young Jeison Guzman on the 40-man roster. Even with expanded rosters, it was difficult for me to imagine a big-league club taking him and keeping him in the major leagues all season.
I was even a little surprised when he got invited to the KC Royals big league camp. But, as usual, it appears very possible that the KC Royals know a little more about baseball and pro potential than I do.
It is not that Guzman was ever a bad signing.
