I admit, I giggled…

From the same article.

"The third game, ball down the right-field line, Jordan Parraz picks it, and I look over from the dugout to see if Alex has moved yet. I can’t find Alex…because Alex is already backing up third.

Here’s some good news: The Royals, entering Tuesday, had the two leading hitters in the entire minor leagues in first baseman Eric Hosmer and third baseman Mike Moustakas.

Hosmer, 20, was batting .409 with a .492 on-base percentage in 31 games for Class A Wilmington. Moustakas, 21, was batting .408 with a .476 on-base percentage in 18 games for Class AA Northwest Arkansas.

And the requisite idiocy:

The issue then becomes who sits: Betancourt or Getz?

"We’ll see how Yuni continues to do," Hillman said. "He’s at about .280 right now. He’s still getting his hits here and there. The focal point was the (zero-for-21), but there were some bad statistics (for a lot of people) against that Tampa Bay staff.

"For me right now, because of Yuni’s production and his coverage and the way he’s played defense, (Aviles) is a better fit at second

"Put Eric Byrnes in Alex Gordon’s body, and that’s how he plays the outfield. He’s flying all over the place, and diving for every ball he think he has a chance to get."

Great: not only is Gordon diving all over the place, but they think that means he’s a good OFer, so they encourage it. No wonder they had to have Pods.
