The left-handed slugger joins Kansas City on a two-year deal, and we know he can do one thing really well. Is there anything else, though?
When the Kansas City Royals went to two straight World Series, one of which they won, they did it by catching every ball in sight, impersonating the '85 St. Louis Cardinals on the bases, and putting the ball in play. A lot.
They didn't win via the long ball, making them a rarity in today's game, where the walk, strikeout and dinger are king. But this offseason, Kansas City has added a couple bats aimed at giving them a little more punch at the plate.
