Some of that is luck but it’s also a poor approach.

Much of Omaha’s problem can be credited to strikeouts.

I wouldn’t do more than LOOGY Travis Wood, starting in the NL is one thing but AL, no thanks.

Travis Wood has not been effective enough to earn a start with KC, but he surely expected such when he signed with the Royals. Wonder if Roys should give him a chance as a starter with Kennedy injury, or send him to Omaha to stretch out? CY can piggy-back on Wood. Yost refuses to use Wood as a LOOGY, which statistically looks sound.
