DeJesus would get a job on every single team in MLB. Not necessarily a starting gig, but even the Yankees have a use for David DeJesus.

By definition, he is a MLB talent.

That said, he's an awful fit in KC. He's an okay leadoff option but a very poor run producer playing at a corner OF position. Now if KC had a CFer, C, 2b or SS that could produce runs, using a corner OF position on a mediocre bat wouldn't be a big deal.

However, DeJesus at LF while playing Betancourt, Crisp, Callaspo at SS,CF and 2b means you cannot burn LF on another mediocre bat.

Here, I'll just re-post what I said last year when the Royals were rumored to have traded Teahen.

DeJesus has been devalued a lot by this regime.

Though the Teahen trade was a good one, IMO. You upgraded your speed/Defense with Getz and Fields has light-tower power. He's Jacobs with an actual ceiling and chance to improve.

DDJ is the wade boggs of LF...trade him for the best value...i think he could help a contender get somewhere more so than the royals
