REJOICE, HOOTIE
Royals’ Yost pondering lineup changes By BOB DUTTON The Kansas City Star BALTIMORE — Are changes coming to the Royals’ lineup? Manager Ned Yost hinted as much prior to Wednesday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Possibilities include shifting left fielder Alex Gordon from first to third in the lineup and increased playing time for outfielder Jarrod Dyson and infielder Elliot Johnson. “I’m thinking about, maybe, putting Alex back in the three,” Yost acknowledged. “I’m just trying to decide what benefits us the best. I’ve got like nine different scenarios I’m looking at. “I’m not big on changing the lineup from day to day. You’ve got to have some movable parts, but the least amount of movable parts, the better for me.” Gordon remained in the leadoff role Wednesday, but Dyson started in center field, which moved Lorenzo Cain to right field in place of slumping Jeff Francoeur. Johnson started again at second base over Chris Getz. Early-season numbers suggest the Royals would benefit by dropping Gordon to an RBI spot in the lineup. He is batting .180 (nine for 50) when leading off an inning but .490 (24 for 49) with runners on base. Yost said he was still mulling possible replacements atop the lineup with Dyson, Cain and Alcides Escobar among the possibilities. “Escobar led off all winter in Venezuela and did really well,” Yost said. “Put him there and Cain in the two? I don’t know. I’m thinking it through. I don’t want to do anything rash.” Yost said he still views Billy Butler, who has batted third this season, as a better fit in the cleanup role. Shifting Gordon to third would permit Butler to return to fourth. “I still believe when it all is said and done that (Eric) Hosmer is going to be a three hitter,” Yost said, “and that Moose (Mike Moustakas) is going to be a four or five hitter. “It just takes time in the big leagues to get yourself established. You’re still projecting younger players who you think are going to be really productive — Sal (Perez), Moose, Hos and Cain. It just takes time. “My son, Andrew, is a mechanic. He needs two years to take a bunch of classes to become a master mechanic. It’s the same. These kids need experience before they get there. “That’s true for the majority of them. You’ve got a few that step up immediately — (Ryan) Braun, (Mike) Trout and (Bryce) Harper. But there are very few of those.” Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/2013/05/08...#storylink=cpy |

First change should be to resign, Ned.

Dyson needs to be the everyday Right Fielder or Center Fielder. Depends on where Cain wants to play.
