Sat through the Tigers-Royals game today and was impressed with KC's starter Denny Bautista. I have followed him since his early days in the Marlins organization. He's a lanky kid with a live arm and a mid-to high 90s fastball and a wicked curve.
The 3 runs he gave up in the first were the fielders fault, the LF went back on a texas leaguer that should have been an easy out, then the 1b didn't cover the bag on a slow roller.
He pretty much shut down the Tigers after that.
This kid is a cousin of Pedro Martinez and could be a good value in the future as a live (and likely huge) underdog. With him and Greinke the Royals have some good young arms.
