The Kansas City Royals return seven out of the nine position players that took the field for Game 5 of the World Series, with the exception of second baseman Ben Zobrist and rightfielder Alex Rios. Most pundits expect Omar Infante to hold off Christian Colon for the second base job, in large part due to the remaining $17 million over the last two years of his contract. The other open position is right field, where most expect long-time fourth outfield Jarrod Dyson to either win the job outright—or to earn the lion’s share of the at bats in a platoon with Paulo Orlando.
