The Royals are trying to shake things up and are looking at all possibilities at third base given Mike Moustakas' current .178 average. Giavotella has had his struggles at the dish as well, but right now, he seems like a logical choice.","date":"Mon May 20"},"fullName":"Johnny Giavotella","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Granted multiple opportunities to nail down the Royals' starting second-base role the past two seasons, Giavotella finds himself fighting for at-bats at the position this spring. Although he finished 2012 as the starter, he managed mediocre .250/.276/.330 rates and only three stolen bases in 32 games in that most recent audition. Outside of a respectable first two weeks as a big leaguer, Giavotella hasn't looked anything like the .308 career hitter he was in the minors, and we'll point out that his big league career walk rate (3.7 percent) is less than half his number in the minors (10 percent). Ultimately, even his best-case scenario has a relatively low ceiling in the key rotisserie stats, making him AL-only roster filler.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"}}
