I’ll get this obligatory part out of the way. Man, the Royals are frustrating to watch right now. They’re bad, and they’re losing in a lot of bad ways. But there are some really good things going on, too. I want to talk about Dozier. Dozier, Dozier, Dozier.
In the off-season, you can find several instances of me arguing that the Royals should be trying to sign Machado. I wrote a fan post about it before I became an official writer Kevin, I argued for it in several comment sections, I discussed it with other fans. My opinion was that Dozier was not going to figure out how to hit at the Major League level (despite the fact that he was decent in the last month or two of last season) and that signing Machado would take care of third base, a position of relative weakness in the organization, for years to come.
