Collins took the loss on Sunday after allowing four runs on three hits and three walks over 1.2 innings against the Cardinals on Sunday. Collins has gotten hit hard in two of his last four outings and voiced a little frustration in an interview with MLB.com. "It's tough as a bullpen if the starter doesn't go out there and go five or six [innings]. It makes it a lot harder for us to be fresh for the next day," Collins said. "You've seen it a lot this year. You've had guys go up and down just because they've had to fill that spot with a long guy. It's kind of tough for us, but that's how the game goes sometimes. The starters aren't always going to go five, six, seven innings."

2013

Subscribe now to see our 2013 outlook.

2012

After spending time in the Blue Jays and Braves minor league systems in 2010, "Tiny Tim" broke through to the majors with the Royals in 2011. He pitched 67 innings with 60 strikeouts, 48 walks, and a 3.63 ERA. His penchant for walks really hurt him, which is surprising considering he had never really had an issue with his control in the minors. Relying on three pitches, Collins has the potential to strikeout more batters than he showed in his rookie season. Only 22, he's likely to continue to hone his skills in middle relief in 2012.

2011

Collins pitched for three organizations in 2010, but looks like he'll settle with Kansas City in 2011. He posted a 2.02 ERA with 15 saves between Double- and Triple-A last year and will be given a shot to join a Royals team with bullpen issues and few veteran arms blocking the way.
