Elarton faces the Yankees tonight in KC. This one should get ugly early. Before going on the DL, Elarton posted a 2-3 record, 9.17 era, 1.87 whip. Then, he went on 5 rehab starts in the minors getting shelled, giving up 21 runs in 26 innings. Yankees offense is on fire lately and ARod is 9-16 against him for his career. I really can't believe that the Royals could not come up with a better alternative than him, but this is who they are going with. Gimme Yanks RL and over. GL.
