SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Royals manager Ned Yost is adamant that no one, not even Paulo Orlando, has the inside track for the center-field job.
"It's a phrase I don't like," Yost said on Day 2 of camp Thursday. "It means you have deemed Paulo Orlando already is the center fielder.
"No, he isn't. He has an opportunity, just like [Cheslor Cuthbert] has an opportunity [at third base] or [Hunter Dozier] at first base, or whomever. They all have opportunity. No one has an inside track."
With Lorenzo Cain having signed with the Brewers, the Royals will be looking to fill the spot among Orlando, Billy Burns, Bubba Starling, Tyler Collins, Terrance Gore and even Alex Gordon.
