What's going to happen when Dyson comes back, who will start in right field, who will start in center?

Lough in Right Cain in Center Frenchy to Miami for a Cuban Sandwich and an interview on Highly Questionable on ESPN2.

My lineup would be Alex Gordon 3rd, Cain LF, Lough RF and Dyson CF. It will obviously never happen because the Royals have 0 management skills. We almost the worst scoring lineup in the American League but lets keep Moose in.

You would move your gold glove left fielder back to third where he struggled mightily? That makes little to no sense.

He struggled mightily at the plate when he was at 3B. His fielding wasn't the problem. They moved him to LF to clear 3B and to try and jump start him because he was basically on his last leg in KC and they were trying everything.

People thought the same thing when they moved him from the leadoff spot this year and that would "screw" his head up but it didn't. He's figured his swing out.

I would like him to stay in LF though because I do like his play out there, but I also like Lough and Dyson (if he could continue what he was doing before this injury)

Gordon made the most errors (16) and had the lowest fielding percentage (.955) of all AL third basemen in 2008.

Hey guys, I have an idea, let's mess with the most well rounded, consistent player on the team by having him change positions when he's the best in the AL at the one he's at now, so we have room for DAVID FREAKING LOUGH.

The idea is about getting rid of Moose, not making room for Lough, dick.

sys · « **Reply #4508 on:** June 09, 2013, 12:03:50 AM »

getting rid of moose is stupid too. he's not blocking anyone and if he sucks the royals are mumped. better to play him than not.

He is blocking Lough, who could start in the outfield if Gordon moved back to 3rd.

I've got it. Let's move Butler to third and, Dyson can catch and Lough will DH. Also, I think Salvy should pitch.

I really hope anyone who wants to move Alex Gordon back to 3rd hasn't reproduced.

Harsh and ineffective!!!!

Moustakas is batting .180, on base .247 and slugging .291 (Pro Tip, this is freaking horrible even for the Royals)

Lough is batting .293, .317, and .431 I would like his on base to be higher but we will take what we can get at this point.

The Royals teams is terrible at scoring runs and they need all the help they can get. Over the next month we need to get .250 out of 3rd.
We truly could bat with our Pitchers instead of Moose and get the same results.

Send Moose down, Move Alex to third and keep Lough up for a while. If Dyson or Lough struggle, put Tejada on third and move Alex back to the outfield.

This Royals team has enough pieces to be in a playoff hunt if they start making better decisions and making those decisions more quickly.

AndrewvonLintel is the worst

AndrewVonLintel · « **Reply #4515 on:** June 09, 2013, 09:06:42 AM »

Oh and for the record, Moose has been shitty at 3rd base also.

He has 8 errors on the year.

Moose has 12 RBIs (172 at bats).

Dyson has 8 RBIs (41 at bats) and Lough has 7 RBIs (58 at bats)

I am not giving up on Moose for forever but give me a break, there is no reason to continue

. Send him down and bring him back when he figures out whats going on.

I am sorry facts bother some of you guys so much. At some point he might make the Alex Gordon jump but it doesn't seem to be now and we need the hits.

Any scenario that involves moving my beloved Alex Gordon out of LF is stupid.

Yep. All stars and gold glovers don't change positions to make room for some kid named Lough. Or Dyson.

If they are team players, they do. Moose batting under .200 hurts the Royals a lot more than Gordon's gold glove helps.

the best way to get moose's sub .200 bat out of the order is to get him batting over .200.

We could send him down for a bit, maybe get his swing and head under control. In the meantime, give Falu or Lambin a shot for a little bit depending on if they have options.

Neither of them could be worse than what Moose is doing now.
