The Royals acquired Lucas Erceg on July 30th of last season. It was the second relief arm that the Royals picked up in July to try and shore up a very weak bullpen that had caused the team a lot of grief throughout the year. Looking at Erceg at that time, it looked like they had picked up a competent reliever who could take on the 7th or maybe even the 8th and had a lot of team control left, which is a nice piece to add to most any team. Instead, he has turned into one of, if not the most dominant bullpen arm in all of major league baseball, and I think we need to give him his flowers.
