Had a quick chat with the new Royals assistant pitching coach Mike McFerran about his time at Wake Forest, with the A's and how excited he is now to be with Kansas City. Impressive and intelligent guy, and J.J. Picollo told me that McFerran seemed like the "most natural fit" while also bringing a different way of thinking to the organization. I'll be looking forward to getting to know McFerran more in the spring.
