Yeah, Dozier is just terrible defensively at 3B. That won't fly with the Royals. Rivera has shown some nice flashes offensively and defensively. Really strong arm. When you consider all that and the fact that the Royals have nothing at 3B in the organization, Rivera is your de facto 3B. Unless the Royals decided to move Witt Jr. back to 3B full time. And I doubt they do that. I think they are ready to leave Witt at SS full time and see what they have in Rivera (he's still only 25, if I am remembering correctly).

But if you're getting into the "the Royals won't do X," then we're basically stuck at square one. I thought you were asking what SHOULD be done, not what WON'T be done. |

1B - Vinny Pasquantino 2B - Nicky Lopez SS - Bobby Witt Jr 3B - Hunter Dozier C - Salvy/Melendez DH - Salvy/Melendez LF - Benintendi CF - Isbel RF - Either trade Pratto or play him there. Release Santana and Ohearn. Do it yesterday. |

Per usual, many here are not being honest (or perhaps they just don't get the reality) about potential trade results. The time to have traded Whit (get why they didn't, and I like watching him play) was a year or two ago. You are getting next to nothing for him now. You are getting absolutely nothing for Mondesi. You might get the lotteriest of lottery tickets for Dozier. Bennintendi (sp?) would fetch you something decent ish. You can't nor should you nor will you trade Salvy. That's it. Other then the untouchable youngsters, there is not much worth anything here.

Then dump the ML pitching coaches and dedicate resources to the pitching staff. Hell, there is a lot of salvageable talent on the pitching staff. Then the team might have a chance. |

Here's what I would do:
- Cut O'Hearn. Put Santana on the bench for pinch hitting duty. I don't mind Santana in this spot because he's a vet and you aren't worried about his development. It's not a big deal if he doesn't get an at bat for a couple of weeks. - Bring up Vinnie Pasquantino and he is your everyday 1b. - Stick Dozier in RF. He's not great defensively but he has been one of our best offensive hitters so that can be his everyday spot. - Melendez and Salvy rotate at DH/C. - Put Merrifield at 2b and Nicky Lopez as our super utility guy off the bench. They both haven't been great but out of the two I think Merrifield will give you a lot more offensive output throughout the year. I like Nicky but he's 27, outside of O'Hearn maybe our worst hitter so far and not really a prospect anymore. I still like his defense so you keep him with the big league club. - Keep Rivera as your everyday 3b. |
