Royals manager Ned Yost was asked about the acquisition of Wilson Betemit from the Rangers.
↵“If I get into a position where I need to double switch in the bottom half of the order to buy some time for the pitcher not to hit, (Betemit) … gives us more options in those situations,†Yost said. “He’s the perfect fit for us at this time.â€
↵He’s the “perfect fit” because he fits just about anywhere on the infield. He’ll also be an option in left field.
↵Sometimes it’s not doing one thing great but doing a lot of things OK.
