The Royals acquired Yuniesky Betancourt from the Mariners today. While this
would typically not merit mention in this forum, the fact that the Royals gave
up 2 young pitchers for Betancourt, including the pitcher Baseball America
ranked as their #1 pitching prospect entering the spring makes me think: Damn!
If Betancourt is worth the Royals #1 pitching prospect plus another arm, I think
Freel should at least be worth the Royals top OF prospect.
