@drewcuse 3B is the more natural place for his current skill set. You lose some of his quick twitch value out in RF.
But not against it. Really, wherever he can stay healthy for 500+ AB works for me.
#Royals off-season wishlist
1) Find the answer at 1B and RF. Santana shouldn't be an everyday guy next season.
2) Bring in bullpen depth. Even beyond HDH, the 14/15 pen had nice veteran pieces for the 5th/6th inning as well.
3) Get as far away from Bally Sports as you can.
@KC_irish Pratto is certainly in the conversation. But as we've seen time and time and time again with position players, can't count on him to be a big contributor right out of the gates.
Noah Syndergaard took the mound tonight for his first game back in almost two years π
Picked up where he left off with a 1-2-3 inning in the 1st
(via @MLB)
@big_chiefD Which is not to say that I think he's great or should be out of the water right now. Just that I think there is a potential future with him here that works. Especially if he learns from the mistakes made in the twilight of the last window.
@big_chiefD It's an interesting conversation for sure. GMDM should definitely wear the poor handling of the end of the last competitive window, both in terms of trades made and not made. But he also gets credit for the strength of what's coming now. He's shown he can win a ship here.
Huge night for Benintendi. Love to see it.
And in case you were wondering, Khalil Lee has an .884 OPS in the Mets minors this year. W/ a ridiculous .439 OBP. Dude has more walks than hits.
No particular conclusion, opinion or comment intended. Just weird.

Don't know how many more years of prime Salvy we have (probably less than we'd all like to admit), but holy cow is he fun to watch right now. Prolly have to give Matheny some credit here for his management of catching vs DH. #Royals
Someone stat gifted needs to look up the last time a 2 hole hitter sac bunted a runner with 0 outs in the first inning, then followed up with a homer in his next AB. #Royals#NickyLongDongLopez
There are but a few certainties in life: death, taxes and every 2.31 times you try to use the @BallySports app on a Firestick you'll have to force stop it to get it actually load a game.
