With 5 viable candidates, there's no question that the Royals have a logjam at second base. As the 2012 season ended, the likely candidates were limited to three: Chris Getz, Johnny Giavotella, and Irving Falu. Unsatisfied with those candidates, the Royals front office brought in veteran Miguel Tejada and super-sub Elliot Johnson. http://royals.scout.com/2/1268900.html 2047 Ryan Schinstock http://royals.scout.com/2/1268900.html Sat, 23 Feb 2013 00:37:00 GMT 1 281 Kansas City royals The 6’5, 235 pound lefty from Indiana State was a big athlete that threw hard until the summer after his sophomore year when he set the Cape Cod League ablaze with a breakout performance. Manaea became famous with scouts for a two-inning stint in the Cape All Star Game where he hit 98 mph while dazzling scores of high level evaluators. http://sbb.scout.com/2/1268245.html 2047 Kiley McDaniel http://sbb.scout.com/2/1268245.html Wed, 20 Feb 2013 20:38:00 GMT 0 381 Scouting Baseball sbb
