Here's the thing about Hochevar: he's got good stuff. It's the million dollar arm, ten cent head problem. He's never going to be anything but bad for the Royals. But with the right pitching coach, I think he could be a serviceable middle to back of the rotation guy for a few years. But he badly needs a change of scenery and mentality. Or he could never figure it out

We'll see. I think the bullpen may be a good change for him. Come out and throw a couple innings balls-to-the-wall rather than trying to ease into several innings. Pretty big wake up call for him that his honeymoon period is quickly closing. He's going to be lucky to make $2M going forward if he doesn't show progress this year.
