@FlannyMLB do you think there is a possibility of Cuthbert going down to triple A to transition to a 2B?

Yes, that has been one of the big questions on the minds of Royals fans this week. Cheslor Cuthbert seems like the logical choice to be sent out once Mike Moustakas comes back Saturday. And with Hunter Dozier securing third base at Triple-A Omaha, Cuthbert getting more time at second base seems a fit. Cuthbert has played only four professional games at second base (plus Spring Training), so he would need a lot of reps down there to make it work at the big league level. Manager Ned Yost believes Cuthbert is athletic enough to do it. There’ll be a lot of footwork to learn, though.
