I can guarantee you that Moose does not have anywhere close to 100 rbis this year. That guy has some of the worst plate discipline in the majors and has shown absolutely no signs of correcting it.

Heh, we have heard this a lot over the years, but Moose would probably hit a few more HRs if he played for another team. I remember he hit a few long ones last year that would have been out in several parks. He might be better off just becoming a pure pull hitter.

Moose needs to step it up, no doubt. But don't forget that Escobar had a terrible season at the plate as well. He really needs to get his bat together.

He's a big concern for '14. I wish I felt better about Bonifacio or Ciriaco actually pushing Esky. I just don't believe either one poses a threat to replacing him.

As long as Escobar is hitting 9th and playing the defense he has played as a Royal, I'm not as concerned about his offense as long as he doesn't start hitting at extreme low levels.

He's also been much more successful hitting out of the 9th spot as a Royal. Hitting in that lower-pressure spot seems to bring out the best in him. If he can continue to give them .270/.300/.375 out of that spot, with his defense, it works just fine.

The Royals also are no longer in a position where they are relying so much on those guys stepping up because they're strong 1-6, and Moustakas and Escobar are hitting 7-9. Most teams have question marks/concerns 7-9.

I think people underestimate how badly the holes in our lineup damaged our run production last year. Not having to go Getz-Dyson-Escobar should make a significant difference.

yeah, I don't think its too greedy but I'd really like him to at least OPS over .625 or so (.700 would be fantastic). He was much better defensively in 2013 than in 2012, but a lot of that got cancelled out at the plate.

We didn't make a really splashy, sexy move, but oh my God replacing Getz and Frenchy is gonna help a ton. We may end up quietly slapping our way to an above average offense, which is hopefully enough for our defense, pitching, and bullpen.

I wonder how likely a Moose/Valencia platoon situation is? That would seem like a huge upgrade against lefties. I don't know much about Valencia's defense though.

And some of that damage was self-inflicted... like continually batting Escobar in the 2-hole for much of the down part of the schedule and having it backfire tremendously.

Or using Getz as the leadoff hitter. Same issue.

The Royals' biggest question marks are a former top 10 hitting prospect who has shown flashes offensively but never for more than half a season, and a CF and SS who both play ELITE level defense at critical positions.

Not a bad spot to be in.

I don't know that we'll see a straight platoon and would expect Moustakas to see still starts against some lefties (epsecially hard throwers, whom he seems to hit better than crafty guys).

But Valencia will make the roster and play, IMO.

His defense is slightly below average to average, but not likely to be a disaster in short stints.

Defensively, if you look at their stat lines, they are pretty similar. Biggest difference is that Moose has a better arm and range.

The first thing I want to see when camp opens is what kind of shape Moose and Butler are in. Last year both of them were really out of shape.
