In case everyone missed it, as I'm sure nearly everyone did, the Royals claimed Jairo Cuevas off of waivers from the (guess who) Atlanta Braves this week. He has spent 5 years bouncing between Rookie ball and AA, all in the Atlanta system. He is a 24 year-old right-handed starting pitcher. In 81 games (72 starts), he has thrown 377 1/3 innings, allowing only 329 hits. He has struck out 357 and walked 180 (not quite a 2:1 K:BB.) He posts a 4.05 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. He only has given up 23 homers in those 377+ innings.
Unfortunately, his numbers have gotten progressively worse on his way up the ladder through the minors.
