Why isn't Alcides Escobar running?? I was banking on 30+ SB and he is certainly nowhere near that pace. Any insight Royals guys? Is it the injuries?

And Dyson gets the start tonight and gets 3 SBs. That's more like it. I'm sure you daily players with him were happy!

His first 3 major league hits were triples!

Yep, first player in the live ball era to have done that, and the first player ever with five triples through his first 7 games.

I picked him up for my H2H league where Triples are one of 9 offensive categories and often the one that goes unloved.

Paulo Orlando has 8 hits -- and FIVE of them are triples.

Dyson vs. R. ??? vs. L. Rotoworld posits it may be Paulo Orlando - who is apparently a baseball player on the Kansas City Royals - vs. L.

Dyson will basically play full time while Rios is out?

That's gotta be six weeks, at least.

Of course he did because I drafted him on Sunday.
