Actually a Fangraphs article posted on Bleacherreports.
Really positive on Cuas & explains why they really targeted him last year in the trade (Batmans favorite pickup - jk)..

It’s a nice little read. Lots of respect from the pitching staff for the job Amaya has done and what he brings to the table. Offensively for as uninspiring as Amaya was last season (in limited and sporadic action) there’s a reminder in there that he was by wRC+ a top 15 offensive catcher in the league and that he was also always considered a defense first catcher so that’s where his most valuable skillset lies. 37 year old Gomes really doesn’t need to field more than 50% of the playing time this season so Amaya will need to bring it and he’ll have every opportunity to do so. Fingies crossed he’s up to the challenge.
Cuas was always an intriguing addition based on his funky arm slot and excellent team control. Even with Velazquez popping off in KC I never minded that particular trade. Hopefully Cuas can find some consistency this season in the release and establish himself as a real weapon.

Lol , yeah I'm not a fan but hopefully he can prove me wrong and be a vital part of the pen while Velazquez becomes the next Soler for the Royals. |

As much of a diehard "there is only one arm slot to maintain a consistent delivery!" guy I am, Cuas has me as fascinated as a cat looking at a laser pointer held still by someone with a shaky hand.
They just don't know what's gonna happen next and if they look away they'll miss whatever it might be.....
