I think Dozier has to play RF (and subs with Franchy), while Gutierrez is the everyday 3B and Santana is the everyday 1B. Whit in LF, Dozier in RF and hope like hell you can get some production out of Taylor in CF

Seems like Santana always hit like 3 home runs against us every series at Kauffman.

2019 was probably his best all-around season. The shortened ST last year probably messed with him a lot (switch hitters typically need more time to gear up their swings). Patience and power tend to age well. This is exactly the type of player we’ve all been begging the Royals to have more of, so I’m not gonna throw stones now that they’ve finally done it. |

Data to support what others had observed...
Kansas City is very familiar with Santana over his years in Cleveland, and Santana has more career home runs (31) and RBI (93) against the Royals than any other opponent over his 11 Major League seasons. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/...s-santana.html |

I love this move. But, I was hoping to see Witt Jr mid year of 2021. I hope finding a place for Dozier to play (3rd) doesn't block him.

I love the fact that the Royals are back to trying to create a competitive team.
