There were only three night openers, I think. All for ESPN purposes.

If Valencia gets enough AB's, he could be another 20 HR bat. I like him.

Right now I'm just praying for Machado and Hardy to get healthy. Despite missing 2 gold glovers, the bottom of our lineup is horrible. Flaherty, Lombardozzi and Schoop dont scare anyone

Fortunately...we didnt acquire him for his baserunning prowess. However...he's usually actually pretty good on the bases.

Maybe it's for the best, I just don't like platooning two young bats like Valencia and Moustakas. That's for journeymen vets and AAAA players. The problem is there isn't a spot on the field where either could play besides 3B (for the Royals, specifically). And DH is Butler and more Butler.

Valencia can play OF as well. He'll be a guy that gets ABs against lefties and gives rest at 3B, DH and OF. Solid bat on the bench

If he really is a 20-25 HR guy, I'd rather have him out there than Justin Maxwell.

I wonder how many of those "Yankees fans" could find New York on a map?
