4B SPORTS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY FEBRUARY 22, 2007 MLB Manager trying to find positions for players BY ALAN ESKEW ASSOCIATED PRESS SURPRISE, Ariz. — There will be no tardy slips, no late arrivals, no visa hold ups. All 59 players have shown up at the Kansas City Royals' spring training camp. "Everybody is here." Royals manager Buddy Bell said Wednesday. "That is quite unusual. That is a good sign." Although Kansas City has lost at least 100 games in each of its last three seasons (100 losses in 2006, 106 in 2005 and 104 in 2004), Bell is optimistic about this year. "The chemistry is good. The guys we brought in are good people, too, so it is a pretty easy group to handle." Bell said. With the first official full squad workout today, the Royals have few position spots open. Bell said. "But there's a lot of things we have to decide as far as the versatility of our guys. Where do they fit? Where are they going to play? How often are they going to play? There's a lot more decisions that we need to make this spring as opposed to last year. We've got a lot more options," he said. Key offseason acquisitions were pitchers Gil Mel Mele, Octavio Dotel and David Riske, all free agents. The Royals must figure out who will fill the final two rotation slots and three bullpen spots. Alex Gordon, who hit 325 with 39 doubles and 29 home runs last season in the Texas League, will be given every opportunity to win the third-base job. If he has a solid spring training, then Mark Teahen will move from third base to right field. "Teahen is going to get most of his work in right field." Bell said. "Brownie (Emil Brown) is going to do all of his work in left field." Brown, who started 48 games in right field last year, led the team with 81 RBI. If Teahen, Delesus and Brown are the starting outfielders, it's unclear what will happen with veteran outfielder Reggie Sanders, one of only six players in the majors to have 300 career home runs and 300 stolen bases, Sanders, the Opening Day right fielder last year, had knee surgery on Aug. 31 and hit just .246 in 88 games. "Reggie certainly fits somewhere in there. He can DH and he can play left and can play right," Bell said. "He's a versatile guy." Bell said Teahen would hit third, and Mike Sweeney, who appeared in only 60 games last year because of back injuries, would bat cleanup. Utility players Esteban German, who hit .326 in 106 games last season, and Ross Gload, who hit .327 in 77 games with the Chicago White Sox, could make it into the lineup at different positions. Bell said Gload would get some time at first and in the outfield, while German will be used "just about everywhere." "He'll play all four infield positions and we'll probably use him in the outfield," Bell said. John Buck, the starter the past two seasons, and Jason LaRue, who was acquired in a November trade with the Cincinnati Reds, will be battling for the catching job. "I would personally like to have a guy just emerge as the No. 1 guy," Bell said. "That is the way I would like to do it. If they make it hard on us and we can't just make a decision on who is ahead of the other, then we'll have to be creative enough to get them both some time."
