I’m going to start this article with something of a disclaimer. It is November. Baseball is boring this time of year. I am just about out of ideas when it comes to writing about the Royals. This may be a stretch, but it is something that I firmly believe and want to write about, so read with a grain of salt.
I firmly believe that the Royals are going to give us a sneak peak into their internal timeline with how they handle Nicky Lopez next season. Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com wrote a piece recently discussing the Royals search for a backup middle infielder.
