Friday, June 10, 2011   Mike Moustakas has arrived, and the
circumstances surrounding his promotion were awfully similar to
those of Eric Hosmer. Both were promoted on Thursday afternoons
following a Royals victory. Hopefully the similarities don't end
there as all Hosmer has done since being promoted is hit
(.309/.349/.485/133 OPS+). Hosmer probably possess a more
advanced bat so it wouldn't surprise me to see Moustakas
initially struggle. But I think he will hit.  Moose hit
.287/.347/.498 with 10 home runs, 15 doubles, and 44 RBIs for

always been a huge Aviles but he's been struggling offensively
and defensively this year so I get why he was demoted. But that
leaves Wilson Betemit as the emergency utility infielder, and I
use emergency in the way it's used for emergency catchers and
emergency quarterbacks, meaning I don't believe for a second
he'll spend an inning at shortstop or seco
