Should the KC Royals look outside for ideal lefty bat?

The KC Royals appear to be looking for a strong lefthanded bat, but they may have to search outside the organization to find one.

By all accounts, General Manager Dayton Moore wants to add a hefty lefthanded bat to the KC Royals’ lineup. Chances are he envisions a player with pop and power who drives in runs—in other words, a traditional middle of the lineup type.

Kansas City, of course, could use such an addition. Good lefthanded hitters are always handy to have, especially for clubs like the Royals who continually find themselves long on righthanded hitters, yet still strive to avoid too many righty-righty matchups.
