Comeback of the year?

[rico43]

When I noticed that Mike Minor got the win for the Royals on Saturday, I took a closer look at his work this season. I was more than a little surprised to see what a workhorse he has been in the KC bullpen this year.

Minor has appeared in 57 games, all in relief, and has compiled a 6-6 record, 2.75 ERA, all in relief. He's worked 69 innings, 77 Ks, 20 walks and only 51 hits allowed in his first MLB action since 2014.

Props to he and Dayton Moore in one of the better salvage jobs of 2017. He's still only 29 and now two years removed his labrum surgery.

(edit add)
Combined Minor's season with the 68 games that Peter Moylan has appeared in for the Royals this year, the Royals seem to be doing well with our sloppy seconds. Expect to hear of their signing Jonny Venters any day now; maybe even EOF.

Good for him! It's tough to bounce back from shoulder surgery.

I always liked Minor. I advocated pretty strongly that we should have held onto his rights as long as possible. He would be a nice asset in the pen.

maybe even EOF.

They're welcome to it.

Minor was my favorite in the rotation several years back. He always had upside, injuries just killed him. So awesome to see regardless!
