For weeks now, the Royals’ section of the internet has been filled with the question, “Why is Jorge Soler still in the starting lineup?” Similar questions have been asked about other players - Hunter Dozier and Ryan O’Hearn come to mind - though I suspect most people assume there isn’t an answer other than Dayton Moore and Mike Matheny are incompetent. The thing is, there is a reason to keep all of those guys in the lineup. That reason doesn’t guarantee that Matheny or Moore are competent, but if they’re incompetent, it’s not because they keep running those guys out there every day.
