  • Mendoza an early favorite for rotation: According to MLB.com, Royals RHP Luis Mendoza is a prominent candidate to make the team's starting rotation in 2012 after going 12-5 with a 2.18 ERA at Triple-A Omaha in 2011. "When you throw up an ERA like he did in the PCL, that's outstanding," said Omaha manager Mike Jirschele. "You don't see that happening in the PCL -- half those ballparks you can spit over the wall." Mendoza, who will be 28 by opening day, allowed two earned runs in 14 2/3 innings in two late-season starts for the Royals in 2011 -- a stark contrast from the 8.43 ERA he posted in his previous 36 major-league appearances. "You know what the difference is? He pitches out there now," Royals manager Ned Yost said.

    Fantasy Analysis
    Mendoza credits his turnaround to Omaha pitching coach Doug Henry. "I just pitched my way and didn't see any results, so I told Doug, 'Hey, teach me how to pitch like it was the first time I ever pitched, change everything. There's something I don't see or something that the hitters do see,'" Mendoza said. "Because I was healthy, I didn't have a lot of arm trouble. I was frustrated because I thought I was doing everything I could." Among other adjustments, Henry raised Mendoza's arm angle, creating more sink in his sinker. "That's been a good pitch for me," Mendoza said. Though Mendoza doesn't profile as a terrific Fantasy given his lack of strikeout ability, he could be a surprise contributor in AL-only leagues if he wins a rotation spot. He'll be a player to watch during spring training.
