I don't suppose signing Ibanez would be a prelude to sending Hosmer to Omaha for a spell.

PH, can play multiple positions if for some freaky reason we need him to. Veteran presence with postseason experience is probably the biggest thing.

This stuff fascinates me. I already posted the stuff about Stanton but there are some Royals stuff in here too. Quote:

Omaha, no. Most certainly will see him get atleast a game off every week now

LOL, the Royals fans on Facebook are so intelligent. Check out these comments on the Ibanez signing:
"Now bench Butler." "Bye Bye Butler!!" "We have to have Raul as our starting right fielder." "maybe a DH that can actually hit the ball..." "They need to stick Ibanez in and sit Butler. He isn't worth what he's being paid." "Even if it doesn't work, at least they tried" "YEEEES. A good RIGHT FIELDER! Took us long enough" |

The only thing that prevents me from declaring this signing totally pointless, is that Ibanez did somehow OPS almost .800 and hit 29 HR last year at the age of 41. He's sucked so far this season, but he could be worth a shot.

I have a sinking suspicion that if Ibanez hits, it is Butler, not Hosmer, who will be on the chopping block (or trading block, more likely).

Won't be any worse than Maxwell - and certainly more versatile.

They want Cain in Center where his talents are best suited, he's just so valuable as a CenterFielder defensively... dyson can't play RF... Ibanez can hold it down until Ao-i-just-K'd get's back.
Raul's a placeholder, and let's Dyson do what he does best - Pinch run in the 8th for Butler.

Remember when the Royals let Ibanez walk so that they could sign Juan Gonzalez instead?

Dexter Fowler would be a great platoon partner for Dyson.
He's a switch-hitter who is hitting .333/.426/.481 vs. LHP this year, and .299/.390/.433 in his career. EDIT: Well, except for his salary. |
