I mean, it’s hard to get excited about a 33-year old on a one-year contract who puts up back of the rotation numbers on a losing team. Unless Kevin Merrell crashes through his projected ceiling and becomes a star, I’m likely to forget all about this trade – and the Homer Bailey era of Royals baseball, for that matter – before the season’s even over.
