Weekend Rumblings - News for December 22, 2018
Rustin Dodd at The Athletic had a chat session and addressed how the Royals could make room for Nicky Lopez.
Dayton Moore has said that Nicky Lopez has the ability to play third base. I think Whit Merrifield could play there some as well. I think the plan is to open with some combination of Cuthbert and Dozier there. I’ve also heard Royals officials talk about using Dozier (or Cuthbert, I guess) at first base against left-handed pitching.
The real question, of course, is what the Royals decide to do if they deep [sic] Lopez ready.
