Does a rough spring spell trouble for KC Royals sophomore pitcher Kris Bubic?

That five-man KC Royals starting rotation billed all winter as “set” may not be so established after all. Kris Bubic, the most vulnerable to losing a spot, continues to jeopardize his standing with only two weeks left until Opening Day.

Thursday, the lefty who made the jump from High-A ball to the majors last season displayed little of what it will take to stay in the rotation with Brad Keller, Danny Duffy, Brady Singer and Mike Minor.
