Newsbreakers
Joey Gathright, CFSunday 10/5, 9:10 AM CT
The Boston Globe points out that Joey Gathright had only three doubles in 279 at-bats in 2008.

Our View:Gathright is a slap hitter, but his 2008 season was a bit extreme with a pitiful .272 slugging percentage. Despite his great speed and defense, Gathright could have a tough time sticking around in the majors if he continues to hit so poorly.
David DeJesus, LFFriday 10/3, 9:56 AM CT
The Kansas City Royals fired hitting coach Mike Barnett and third-base coach Luis Silverio, according to the Kansas City Star.

Our View:The Royals were ninth in the major leagues in batting average with a .269 mark, but were 27th (out of 30) in on-base percentage with a .320 mark.
Zack Greinke, PTuesday 9/30, 8:49 PM CT
Zack Greinke went 4-1 with a 2.18 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP in five starts in September to be named the club's pitcher of the month, according to the Royals Official Website.

Our View:Greinke was marvelous this season and finished on quite a role with a 2.32 ERA over his final 10 starts. He will be a top target next season, and well he should be after his solid 2008 campaign (13 wins, 183 K, 3.47 ERA).
