ORIGINAL: Mr. Ed Worn-out closer Greg Holland will not pitch again in 2015, the Royals announce. Holland has a “significant” tear in his UCL, according to manager Ned Yost (via McCullough). Tommy John surgery is the likely course of action. Yost now believes Holland tore the ligament last August, meaning he pitched last September and the postseason as well as all of 2015 with a tear in the ligament. We all love these "hey, we got an awesome 7th inning, 8th inning, 9th inning guy" .... Type teams, but relying on those three relievers to last all year gets more unrealistic all the time. This is huge. It changes their plan of attack. They only count on their starters to go five or six. Every weapon of theirs you take away will hurt them. And those three guys are the best part of their team most nights, IMO. Plus, one of the arms they were using? Traded in the Cueto deal.
