Player Notes
July 3, 2008
Joey Gathright, who suffered a left shoulder separation, didn't start in center field tonight against the Orioles. Gathright suffered the injury when he attempted an over-the-fence catch during a 5-2 loss to Baltimore on Wednesday night. David DeJesus was moved from left to center field. Jose Guillen went from designated hitter to left field and Billy Butler served as the teams designated hitter.

Our View:The Royals television network reported that the Royals center fielder could have played, but manager Trey Hillman opted to give him the day off.
June 9, 2008
Joey Gathright is in the Royals' starting lineup today, according to MLB.com.

Our View:He is back in center field, and batting at the bottom of the order. There was speculation that he may have separated his shoulder on Sunday, but that does not look to be case.
June 5, 2008
Joey Gathright had a hit, scored a run, and stole his 15th and 16th bases of the year on Thursday night. David DeJesus also stole his fifth base of the year against the White Sox.

Our View:Gathright certainly is getting a chance to show his stuff for the Royals but he is hitting just .250 with a terrible OBP of under .300, limiting him to the bottom of the order. Gathright will continue to steal enough bases to maintain his value, but he has been truly deficient in the other categories.
May 18, 2008
Kansas City outfielder Joey Gathright will be out of the starting lineup for the Royals today after suffering an ugly collision with fellow outfielder David DeJesus, according to MLB.com.

Our View:DeJesus was coming from right field as he chased a fly ball from Florida's Mike Jacobs. DeJesus leaped to make the catch only to find Gathright in the path to the ball, meeting in mid-air. Gathright's left shoulder popped out and then back in during the play and is being held out as a precautionary measure. He will be available to play on Sunday, though the team indicates they will re-evaluate. DeJesus reports he is fine and will be in the lineup today.
May 17, 2008
Joey Gathright is starting in center field on Saturday night with David DeJesus in right. Gathright is leading off as the Royals square off against Florida and left-hander Scott Olsen.

Our View: Gathright is a spark plug from the leadoff spot and leads the Royals in stolen bases.
