The Royals answer (which I'm not in agreement w/ their rationale):
1. Hamilton steals bases...Starling, while fast, does not really steal bases.
2. Defensively its mostly a wash. Starling w/ a better cannon, but Hamilton more experienced and likely better reads/angles.
3. Starling is not on the 40 and when placed on the 25, can't come off without having to clear waivers.
4. Probably hoped (and still hope) Hamilton outplays his recent career numbers and they can flip him at the deadline for something.
