And then there's Steve Prihoda. He's 26 now, but there were those Carolina League-leading 25 saves for Wilmington in 1996, and he's shown great durability the last two seasons at AA Wichita.
And last year, he followed the organization's advice and cut his BB/9 from 4.0 to 1.7! No more nibbling!
Of course, he allowed
six times as many HR as in '97, but…
Still, it's only the Royals. It's not as if they have the luxury of being picky. (Current staff is basically Kevin Appier, Jeff Suppan, and then open auditions.)
