Pick a Royals Outfielder

[kgbaseball]

I'm getting bored with the other trade proposal threads, so I thought I'd create a couple myself.

 

The Royals have a plethora of young outfielders at the MLB and AAA level, some that are just rotting away. Maybe the Brewers could take a shot at one of them.

 

Joey Gathright: No power at all, but has blazing speed and an ability to get on base. I basically see this guy as Tony Gwynn Jr's MLB-ready clone. Gathright's defense might be a little worse. Certainly, the Royals don't need him with DeJesus manning center.

 

Shane Costa: Struggled mightily this season. Will turn 26 in a few weeks. Has shown a fantastic eye at the AAA level the past couple seasons, but it's not really transferring to the MLB at this point. His value couldn't be lower. He's a corner outfielder.

 

Mitch Maier: Solid little player that can play center. Nice power, but doesn't walk a whole lot. Probably a good 4th outfielder at this point. 25 years old.

 

My personal favorite, Justin Huber. The Royals have never really given him a chance. He's only 25, can really hit, and can play corner outfield and 1b. If the Royals aren't going to let him play, he deserves to be on a team that'll let him do his thing.

The Crew would go after Dejesus, not a bunch of unprovens. Gross is as good or better than the others.
