OPS+ 161
I'm a big fan of this move. Graffy has a solid track record as a utility infielder and the Royals are only obligated to pay for him this year.
Hopefully, this move will keep Joe McEwing in Omaha and give Estaban German a chance to prove he can do something.
For all of the bitching I keep seeing on the internet about the Royals pickups this off-season, I don't see anybody offering a better solution. Last year, the team was derided for bringing up young players too soon.
What the moves from this off season have done is given every prospect more time to develop in the minors and avoided crippling the team with long-term contracts.
I, for one, am excited to have at least semi-competent big leaguers to watch this season while following the progress of guys like Alex Gordon and Billy Butler in the minors.
