Regarding Kila, I think there was not a lot to go on to verify he would keep up his production. I agree that it may have been in the Royals’ best interest though to give him a try rather than trade for Jacobs (and give up a serviceable reliever in the process).

Yes, the O’s do have “stacked upper-level pitching talent”, but Matusz is considered one of those quality arms. I highly doubt that he’d be blocked, especially considering he was drafted at #4, as well as pitching extremely effectively.
Tillman and Arrietta are the only two arms that are considered “upper level”, and Matusz is arguably projected to be better than both of them. Can’t wait to see this kid dominate the Yanks & Sox in due time.

No love for Tommy Everidge? He’s killing the ball in Triple-A right now, and could really jump-start the A’s offense…
