It wasn’t that long ago guys like Frank Schwindel could find a place on a major league roster. Those days have changed. With new statistics and rankings, a players “value” covers offense and defense. Teams want more than just a player who can hit or just play defense. The Kansas City Royals want his offense but have struggled to find a place for him to play.
It looks like the Royals are looking for ways to get him on the team going north. Recently I wrote a piece about his struggle to find a spot on the club.
