More on 2010 for the Omaha Royals.  In a previous post I talked about possible lineups for Omaha.  I must talk now about David Lough.  Lough picked up the Northwest Arkansas player of the year award.  At age 23, it would seem that he is due for a callup to Triple A or even a spring audition for Kansas City.  For the sake of argument, let us say that Lough will start in Omaha.  He would compete with Chris Lubanski and Jordan Parraz.  However, in Omaha, you also had Cory Aldridge who can play RF.  Further, you have Chris Raines, Jr. who more than likely would not make the cut in this competition. Also, there is Scott Thorman but he can play other positions.  With this competition, I would say the outfield in Omaha in 2010 would be Lubanski, Parraz, and Lough.  Meaning that Aldridge would be dealt or even released. 

In Kansas City, you have these outfielders Jose Guillen, Josh Anderson, David DeJesus, Mitch Maier, and Coco Crisp.  I would think think that Parraz and Lough would have shots at one of these jobs.  It is even possible that Anderson would be sent down or traded.  Surely with Anderson and Aldridge traded, the Royals could get some sort of option at second or short.  If the Royals let Guillen go after 2010 I would think that either Parraz or Lough would end up with the job, which might eventually make the Royals win five or six more games than they do now.  Of course, that is all up to Dayton Moore, isn’t it?
