If they got Montas, I don't think it signals at all how they feel about their young arms. KC views themselves a team that should compete this year and they're going to need those young guys to get that done. We are squeezing 162 games into shorter time frame than usual, so they're going to need 7 or 8 arms to do so. That's going to take Keller, Singer, Kowar, Lynch, Carlos, and Bubic, plus a solid veteran SP that's more consistent than Minor was.
