A few pieces of good news, y\u2019all. First, Bobby Witt Jr.<\/a> and Maikel Garcia<\/a> and<\/em> Jac Caglianone<\/a> are back in the lineup for the first time in a hot minute. That\u2019s good! Those are the three best hitters in the lineup.<\/p>\n

The other good news? Salvador Perez<\/a> is down hitting fifth. It could be better; he could be hitting sixth or seventh. But he\u2019s hitting fifth, and the further down he and his .250-something on base percentage can go, the better. I mentioned this on the Royals Rundown podcast the other day, but the Royals are a better offense without his bat in the lineup, unfortunately.<\/p>\n

Of course, that probably means he\u2019s going to whack a home run, maybe two, to spite me. Bring it on, Salvy. Bring it on.<\/p>\n
