He's on pace this year for about 22 HR (if he gets 550 ABs), and his HR rate is likely to rise as the season goes on. All indications are that he's healthy.

Playing in the American League would probably be good for Utley. If they trade for him, the Royals could give him 1 day a week off and 1 day a week at DH (with Butler playing 1B and Hosmer off) to keep him rested and strong.
Cool....id be all for it. A veteran bat with some pop would certainly be good. Push Hosmer and Moose further down the lineup to help take some pressure off them.

One of the best plays Matt has ever made.
