Paulo Orlando has been one such players that have fit that mold for the Kansas City Royals. As a 29 year old rookie in 2015 Orlando displayed some promise. In 241 at bats he slashed .249/.269/.444 while adding in seven homeruns.
Injuries, injuries along with some OF uncertainty, gave Paulo a bigger role on the 2016 Kansas City Royals. In his age 30 season Orlando produced a .302/.329/.405 in 484 at bats. His homerun total dipped to just five, but he made up for it with speed. He swiped 14 bags and proved that he was a useful player on a major league roster.
