I think it's an awesome pick! Moose (yep, I hereby claim to be the first Royals fan to dub him with that nickname which will resonate around the K everytime he homers) has played at catcher, 3rd base, shortstop, and left field so the Royals can possibly plug 'n' play him basically anywhere on the left side of the field or behind the plate. At least we have a solid power hitter to eventually replace Sweeney when we trade him in July to a playoff contender.
NOTE: The thread post describes his running speed as below average while SI has it at slightly above average.
