Price is the best pitcher out there if Det does indeed shop him.
But here another reason why I like the Royals perusing Cueto.
1) His WHIP is 0.95 the last year and a half. That's really good
2) last 1.5 years, he is allowing a .169 ave w/RISP
3) last 1.5 years, he is allowing a .248 SLUG. W/RISP
Last 1.5 years --
Kershaw numbers were .210/.331 w/RISP
Greinke was .223/.343
Scherzer .223/ .350
Kershaw, batters vs him, 230 plate appearances(Hit or BB/HBP) with RISP. 60 runs scored
Cueto had 267 plate appearances. 72 runs scored.
Pretty comparible with a top 3 if not the best pitcher last 1.5 years
