Halfway and hold it!

Title refers to the leg lifts in PE class. I meant Perez for catcher and Escobar as a SS! Spring training for me, too. The Royals off to a great hitting start in ST. Every game they seem to score, score, score. Melky keeps hitting. Maier is hitting like crazy. Zawad looks to be the newest version of Bloomquist. Infield version at least. The Royals like the utility guys. Jeltz comes to mind. Seems getting a good team first, then the utility would be the way to go. Pitching is scary. 10-9, 11-10, and other scores of that ilk aren't a good sign. Rumored that the Royals are searching for a catcher. I'd like to see Perez work with the younger guys and come up with them. Pena, Pina, May will have to do. I keep thinking Kendall will be out for an extended period. I just don't like that move. I shall move on. Trading for a catcher is something I wouldn't be opposed to, but the terms would need to be favorable. I don't think Pena will kill them defensively. I just want the Royals to have the same catcher working with the young pitchers so the transition to the Big Leagues won't require getting used to a new catcher. Don't blow a bunch more money on a catcher. Let Perez grow with the throwers. You see the difference Varitek and other catchers that have been with the pitchers for a long time can make. Start that process now. Build around the battery. Second base? Getz is a good on D. Great. You can't give up a line up spot to D when your pitching isn't all that good. I'm not confident Getz will play much. I envision Aviles at third. He has been hitting great in spring. He was stiff at second so maybe third will be better. Aviles, Escobar, ?, Butler. They really need to fill that spot. 3 positions are solid as far as offense goes. Outfield is a crazy crowded story. Gordon is struggling like always. Maier is killing the ball like he does when he gets consistent AB's. Francouer is juiced in. Melky is killing the ball. Cain, Blanco, Dyson would be an interesting, if powerless OF. The search for Willie Wilson continues. Willie was a football player, not a track guy. I wish Dayton would look at film. He wasn't Dyson. The bat wasn't getting knocked out his hands. Cain reminds me most of the elusive Wilson. Melky doesn't remind me of Willie. He reminds me of the awful blooper reel where the throw he had went sideways. Unfair assessment? Yes, but a gold glove isn't in the cards for the Melkman. If they start Gordon, Melky, Francouer that is a questionable OF. Gordon is an enigma. Probably a AAAA player. Melky and Francouer are gambles. Yikes,guys. An interesting thing would be to give the starting spots to the guys who earned them in the spring. Maier over Gordon. I don't care about options or payroll. I care about trying to win. Alex's time is coming. A trade now might be beneficial.
Halfway through. Good record. Catching, 2b, and outfield issues. Pitching is scary. Halfway and hold it? Naw, lets finish this and put together a 70 win team.
Go Royals.
