Play the Youngsters

Royals Authority wants Kansas City to play the call-ups:

I understand the idea that the Royals are in a position to play "spoiler" down the stretch. So it's important they field a major league caliber team. But didn't Brazell earn his call-up by slaughtering Triple-A pitching? Huber was, once upon a time, a prospect. And Phillips won't give you better at bats than Jason LaRue?

My point is, if you play those guys against the Yankees it's not like we're going to hear about it from Red Sox fans. All of the call-ups are guys who deserve a look down the stretch. Odds are, they're better than what the Royals currently have on their roster.

But unless they play, we'll never know.
