Dazzler is having trouble logging in, but sent the following to the World Forum:
Some interesting position battles shaping up. Colon does everything in a professional manner, advance runners , field adequately, no option left.
Mondesi is the best second baseman defensively and his batting is coming around on the left side of the plate, not so much on the right. Has option.
Cuthbert is limited at second base, range wise and has been hitting the ball hard, directly to the opposition. He may be the best third baseman right now..
Merrifield is solid both in the field and at bat, Has option.
Outfield: Looks like solar has started hitting, Bonafacio looks to be a major league hitter. Not sure who has an option. Dozier plays 1st, 3rd and outfield, has hit well. He appears to be a better outfielder than a third baseman.
Catchers: No surprise Salvy starts but who backs him up. Royals acquired Bryan Pena in off season to compete with last year`s backup who is currently playing with Italy in the world baseball event.
Relief pitchers is anyone`s guess although the Royal farmhands look pretty good. this is especially true with the lefties.
On the minor league players, the Royals have a number of slick fielding infielders from their S.A. academy. These kids have names you have to write down in order to spell. Prediction is that Omaha will be pretty good this year.
I hope you guys can wonder over here to the World Forum to see this. No way for me to create a thread on the Wabash.
