With the MLB season just around the corner, the recent roster moves have sparked some intriguing discussions. Cavan Biggio is expected to make the Kansas City Royals' roster despite a spring training performance that has left many scratching their heads. His .194 batting average paired with an impressive on-base percentage of .457 raises questions about what the Royals see in him. Is it his patience at the plate that makes him a valuable asset, or are they simply hoping for a rebound from a player who has struggled in recent years?

This brings us to a broader conversation about the role of patience and on-base skills in today's game. Are teams placing too much emphasis on these metrics, especially when a player's overall performance is underwhelming? Biggio's situation is a perfect case study. Can a player with a poor batting average still be effective if they can draw walks and avoid strikeouts?

Moreover, with the Royals cycling through a mix of players with varying levels of uncertainty, how crucial is it for them to have a player like Biggio on the roster? Will he be able to provide the stability they need, or is he just another name in a long list of players who have failed to live up to expectations?

Let's also consider the implications of these roster decisions on the Royals' season. What does this say about their strategy moving forward? Are they in a rebuilding phase, or are they trying to compete now?

I want to hear your thoughts! Do you think Cavan Biggio can turn his career around in Kansas City? How do you feel about the emphasis on on-base percentage versus traditional batting averages? And what are your predictions for the Royals this season? Let's dive into this discussion!
