Also a good call. He'd be a solid, Chris Young-like back-end signing. Wichita kid, too.

You mention Eibner as an OF possibility but what about Lane Adams and Jose Martinez?
Louis Coleman pitched 63 innings in Omaha with a 1.69 ERA. Hope he's figured it out.
Too bad Flynn got hurt. Will he be able to get his stuff back and be able to help the Royals pen?
I'd hate for them to trade either Zimmer or Almonte (but, in DM we trust). Hope Zimmer makes it to the big leagues in 2016.

Zobrist would play some OF if brought back and Gordon is not. His positional flexibility would give them a lot of insurance at multiple spots... and if Infante is absolutely terrible again, you can slide Zobrist to 2B on most days (or Colon) if necessary.
I don't think Lane Adams is a legitimate MLB option, or Jose Martinez. Eibner COULD be, though I think it's likely he's more of a poverty Drew Stubbs than anything else (decent 4th OF who is a threat vs. lefties).
Zimmer will be in KC in 2016. It wouldn't surprise me to see them use him out of the pen to start the season (either in KC or Omaha), gradually stretching him out as the season goes on to make sure he's ready for 175 innings in 2017, as a SP.
