Aviles also thrived hitting in the No. 2 hole later in the season, especially behind speedy leadoff man Jarrod Dyson - that combination at the top of the order certainly will give manager Ned Yost and general manager Dayton Moore something to consider all off-season.
"Having Dyson in the leadoff spot is incredible," Aviles said. "He makes pitchers so worried.
They're constantly looking over at him if he's on first.
You're going to get good pitches because of that. It's dynamic. They're more worried about getting him off the bases rather than pitching to me."I love hitting No. 2, too. It's my favorite spot in the order, hands down. I hit there the first time in Triple-A in 2007. I loved it. I feel the most comfortable there."

Well, he can't have the #2 spot until he ages 6 years and starts playing catcher
and adds some more grit, for good measure. (Appealing to the “baserunners distract the pitcher” crowd can’t hurt, though.)
The only people who really know where [the edge] is are the ones who have gone over it.

Or he can speed up the process and start eating sand now

If Dyson can make contact, he's going to be pretty good.
Not just because of his speed. Unlike a lot of guys he really runs the bases well
It looks like he has a decent arm and glove too.
Dyson puts his speed to great use on both sides of the ball
unlike many like you said. …ahem…Gathright……
would like to see him play winter ball.

He is fun to watch.
I hope he’s able to adjust a bit better at the plate so that he’s up here next year.
I am shocked there hasn't been a single "2 Hole" quip yet
We must all be mentally tired from Wild Ride the Royals gave us this year…
"Shot by my own men."
I would love to let Aviles bat 2nd everyday and have JK take his place at the bottom of the order
and by bottom of the order, I mean not on the roster.
