Winter Meetings, Royals style 2

According to MLBtraderumors.com the Royals are shopping Navarro to open a space for Rule 5. I hope that is just a rumor. You can't take a roster spot on a team that may be able to compete and fill it with Nate Adcock Jr. You need a player that contributes. OK, I get it, Soria was a Rule 5 pick and he has been fantastic. I would not sacrifice a spot on the 25 man roster for a Rule 5 guy. Let's hope it is just a rumor. Oh by the way you NEED to have a utility guy. Come on. No backup at SS or third or second, yeah good idea lets draft an arm and not have anyone to spell our infield. Come on Dayton make sensible moves. You need Navarro or another guy to back up multiple positions. You don't need the Rule 5 guy. I guess if the Rule 5 guy was a utility guy with an awesome glove that would kill a couple birds with one stone but I'd prefer taking a pass on the Rule 5. No real heat on the stove but it has been a fun 4 days in Dallas. The Royals have been linked to Gio and Shields. I'd prefer Gio but it seems rather slow going in Moneyball Land. They will want a haul for him. Oh well I'm just glad the Royals were in. Who knows, maybe something will come out of the meetings. Hosmer and Butler at least have a reasonable platoon. The other guys will have to play 162. The Royals don't even have a backup catcher at this point. Oh that's right it is December 7, not April 7. Come on Royals release or trade Blake Wood but lets keep Navarro for a spell. PS. I'm still bumming over the Frank White firing. Hopefully someone will own the deed. I'm kind of doubting that will happen. I read a post from a venerable visitor to the Royals message board and he said he wasn't going to discuss the current management because it upset him so much. He actually knows Frank White. I'll take his positive approach. I can't help but discuss the management but I'll temper my temper. Not easy for a full blooded Irishman, but I'll try. Thanks Innings.
