Chris Getz's Days In Kansas City Could Be Numbered Former Michigan standout and current Kansas City infielder Chris Getz has heard rumors that he might be replaced as the team's second baseman for years, but it's starting to look more like reality. The Royals acquired Toronto infielder Emilio Bonifacio Aug. 24, and the former Blue Jay solidified his hold on second base by hitting .314 with 13 stolen bases in 24 games. Getz has played sparingly since. He left a 4-3 win over Seattle in early September with concussion like symptoms after being hit on a fielding play. "Bonifacio's play since arriving from Toronto lessens the urgency the Royals will show this offseason in examining available second basemen," The Kansas City Star's Bob Dutton wrote. "It's still possible they get someone new, but they no longer have to get someone … "Either way, Bonifacio's play makes it hard to see where Chris Getz and [fellow second baseman] Johnny Giavotella fit going forward. Neither Getz nor Gio is a viable utility option, and neither seems likely to be the regular second baseman." Getz was hitting .224 with one home run, 18 RBI and 29 runs scored as of Sept. 24. ❏ Technology gloves Stay warm and in touch this football season with the Michigan Technology Touch Gloves by McArthur Towel & Sports.
