Yes, and I will probably keep him there for a while with his lower contact and power.

Sorry for this taking so long. Remember how I had said I was rotating between this franchise, my Rockies franchise, and Cubs dynasty in MVP? Yeah, well that slowed down quite a bit.

I just finished the season in my Rockies franchise, and it is officially back to this one. I have a track meet tomorrow, so depending on how long that lasts, I may be able to get in a few games on here by the end of the weekend.

April in Review

The Royals got off to a hot start this season going 19-9 with the best record overall in the majors. The Royals actually had tons of offense this past month as they have five players with 15 or more RBI. Mark Teahen is leading the team in homers with six, RBI with nineteen, and stolen bases with ten. As for pitching, three of the Royals five starters have three wins. Ricky Dinas has started his season well with a 1.87 ERA over 33.2 IP and one complete game. Joakim Soria is also off to another great start as closer with eight saves in nine opportunities in the month of April. From the way the season has started, it appears the Royals are bound for a great season.
