    Royals Hochevar's Coming

    The Royals said after Sunday's game that they're placing Joakim Soria on the DL and calling up Luke Hochevar to replace him.
    Hochevar will take Sidney Ponson's spot in the rotation, with Ponson joining the pen. So, it's only taken five weeks, but the Royals have decided to press forward with their top five starters. Juan Cruz will likely get the bulk of the save chances with Soria still nursing a sore shoulder.
    Good news- Hochevar is finally being called up and Ponson is out of the rotation
    Bad news- Soria is going on the DL

    Cruz is a good option to close for a while and hopefully Soria just needs rest. Hochevar should help an already good rotation.

    f.uck him. We'll see if he's actually worth the bazillion dollars he thinks he is.

    Apparently he's not worth it.

    How do you give up 8 runs in 2 innings to ...the Oakland A's?

    Hochevar should be OK once he gets settled in. He has great stuff, but needs to refine things a bit more. He has nothing more to prove in the minors, though.
