Chances are, whoever the Kansas City Royals send out in right field for the 2016 season will be a place holder. If everything goes according to plan, Bubba Starling will be ready to contribute to the Royals either later this season or at the start of the 2017 campaign. All that Kansas City really needs is some level of competence for a season before the reins are likely handed over to Starling.
As such, Jarrod Dyson has been considered the front runner for the position. A speedster who can play solid defense, it is anticipated that Dyson will be, at worst, in a platoon with Paulo Orlando in right to keep the seat warm for Starling.
