ChiefsPlanet - Royals (New) 2013 Kansas City Royals Repository

Someone should explain to me why the Royals guy on 610 is convinced Bonifacio is gone. Also Dyson being able to play center isn't that big a deal since Aoki and Bonifacio could fill in there making Maxwell a better keep.

I think I'm now even more convinced that we'll start the year with 11 pitchers.

We need Dyson, Maxwell's our 4th OF, Valencia's obviously not going anywhere, and getting rid of Bonifacio would be crazy. I guess we could trade one of those guys, but there's a decent chance that it works itself out by June. Moose could suck again, or someone could get hurt. Even if Moose hits well enough to stay and we are as incredibly lucky with injuries in 2014 as we were in 2013, I have to believe that its not that hard to shuttle pitchers in and out of Omaha all year. We might have a few pitchers who log a lot of miles in the air or on the bus than usual, but we should be able to make it work.

Imagine if Dyson were cut in March, and then by the end of April Maxwell broke his leg or something so that we never really needed to free that spot up, it would look pretty silly then.

Just looking at the roster, Dyson's ability to play CF and steal bases as a pinch runner is a huge asset, but it is more easily replicated than what you get out of Jason Maxwell (who offers big-time RH power and crushes lefties).

If they carry 12 pitchers, I think Dyson is the odd man out. It's also possible they go with 11 pitchers early to protect him.

EDIT: MY NEXT POST WILL BE NUMBER 6,000. Should I use it to start the 2014 repository?

Put it in the porn thread.

Oh my, where can I get action on this prediction?
