Fantasy Analysis
Lamb, the Royals' minor-league pitcher of the year in 2010, appeared to be on the fast track to the majors before the devastating elbow injury. The left-hander will be eased into game action, but is unlikely to make an impact for Kansas City until 2013. Consider him a long-term Fantasy keeper. (Updated 04/27/2012).
