Yeah, that was my thinking too. Cueto when he's at his best is maybe a #2/#3, and he's probably your most talented starter. Like Shields last year, much the same.
The calling card for the Royals the past couple years has been as a terrific contact-hitting and baserunning team with a great bullpen and an (at best) effective rotation. Seems to be working, too.
