Can't ever have enough pitching depth. Young is a tall pitcher that tops out at around 85-86 mph, but he pitched pretty good for Seattle last year (he kept the Royals at bay last year when he faced them twice). Shocked to see him sign with the Royals. He might look at the K as a perfect fit for his style of pitching (fly ball pitcher) if he makes the 40 man roster.

Royals sign right-hander Chris Young to a one-year contract
The Royals added some rotation depth Saturday by signing right-hander Chris Young to a one-year contract. Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star reports that Young will receive a $675,000 base salary with $5.325 in possible incentives. Pretty interesting deal.
Young didn’t pitch at all in the majors in 2013 and required thoracic outlet surgery, but he posted a 3.65 ERA and 108/60 K/BB ratio over 165 innings with the Mariners last season and won the American League Comeback Player of the Year Award. Still, the market for him was very quiet this winter. It’s understandable, as Young has a long injury history, gives up a ton of home runs and fly balls, and his peripherals weren’t very impressive last season.
It’s hard to see where Young fits with the Royals right now, as they already project to have Yordano Ventura, Jason Vargas, Edinson Volquez, Danny Duffy, and Jeremy Guthrie lined up to begin the year in the starting rotation. He offers insurance at the very least. And the Royals, with their outstanding outfield defense, at least fit his fly ball tendencies.
In order to make room for Young on the 40-man roster, the Royals transferred right-hander Kris Medlen on the 60-day disabled list as he makes his way back from Tommy John surgery

Raul Ibanez & Don Wakamatsu (current Royals bench coach) are both finalists for the Rays manager.

Yes it was a double switch, the pitcher's spot is now in the 7th spot in the order. It was a stupid move on Yost's part, why let a .120 hitter bat?

Cain just saved the game. Hopefully the top of the order can come through right here.

#Royals Hosmer just tattooed 4 straight bombs over the CF wall during BP. Holland tried to climb the wall & bring one back, unsuccessfully.

#Royals Hosmer's shirt reads "Shock The World" at his pregame press conference.
Hosmer is locked in! I feel Shields is going to pitch MUCH better tonight. Also saw this quote from Yost:

Hope Finnegan gets a 123 here, because the bullpen doesn't look good if this goes to extra innings.

How did Lorenzo Cain describe Kelvin Herrera's at-bat? One word. "Hilarious." #Royals
Yost knew what he was doing, he was just trying to lighten the mood in such a big game.

BIG win tonight, just need 1 more! 
Can't wait to watch Vargie shut down the O's today.
