Couple of issues with the Royals I noticed in a quick look. Hopefully these are what I should be posting here.

Brian Buchanan: He's shown on the active roster. As far as I know he hasn't even been on the 40-man, much less made the majors. I had a quick look at the Royals transactions so far this season and didn't see him mentioned anywhere, and he's not listed on the 40-man on the Royals website. I'm pretty sure he was signed to a minor league contract.

Brian Bannister: He's listed as a MR and "strictly bullpen", but he's been a starter for all but 2 of his MLB appearances, those coming in 2006. He's started 9 games this year, he started 32 games last year, and 27 games in 2007. He hasn't pitched out of the bullpen since 2006. Is this just something that's a result of him not being rated all that great? Which isn't a problem, just wondering if that's why he's showing as a MR and strictly bullpen.
