Moustakas just barely missed the cutoff.

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the war room!

Bad omen that Salvador is already being linked to Neifi

On other teams, maybe

On the Royals, only two of each.

So...

…that’s three guys all named “Ron Johnson.”

We’re on our second “Bill Butler,” too, and we had a “Brian Anderson” twice…

Oops...

…the second Brian Anderson never actually made our ML roster.

But both Bill Buckners did.

Oh, good catch

4 Andersons also – Brian, Josh, Rick, Scott.

For quite a while I thought that Ron Johnson (1982-1983) and Rondin Johnson (1986) were the same guy. When I learned differently, much shuffling of my baseball card collection ensued.

I also remember

We had a minor leaguer named Rontrez Johnson who I was high on for a while.

He's on the Johnson list above

He had his cup of coffee. I think he made your “20 most obscure Royals” list from way back when

And two Tony Penas!

Although only one played for us.

The Astros have three guys on their pitching staff named “Rodriguez.” Have we ever had three teammates with the same surname? I think we went two Penas once – Tony and Brayan.
