Who should make the squad?  Based on current playing time.  Ex-Royals farmhands included.

My leading choices are:

C  John Buck

1B  Mike Sweeney

2B  Mark Grudzielanek

3B  Mark Teahen

SS  Jeff Keppinger

OF  Jose Bautista

OF  Raul Ibanez

OF  Johnny Damon

Bench players:

C  Miguel Olivo

OF  Matt Diaz, Matt Stairs

IF  Andres Blanco, Ross Gload

DL  Coco Crisp, Carlos Beltran, Jason LaRue, Mark Ellis, Endy Chavez

The only other ex-Royals on active rosters (who all happen to be catchers) are Ronny Paulino, Gregg Zaun, and Matt Treanor.

Jermaine Dye would definitely make the team if he had a job.

Mike Jacobs may reappear on this list after he goes through waivers.
