The Royals avoid arbitration with a handful of players. Could they be looking to extend Andrew Benintendi? Meanwhile, Bobby Witt Jr. vaporizes a baseball.
I go back and forth on extending Benintendi. He is solid, young, and plays good defense. I also think Kyle Isbell could adequately fill his spot. I also think Isbell could handle CF. But...we also have zero high end OF prospects knocking on the door. I keep coming back to extend him and have some certainty.
Looking forward to tomorrow on Isbel. I think Isbel is a 300 hitter if they would only play him. I am afraid if they extend Benny you have a 260 batter making 10 or so million a year. We already have one mistake in cf. We should have never resigned Taylor. If we didn't have his bad contract I might be more inclined to extend Benny.
