Joe at 62 pitches after 5 innings. Unless something blows up really badly, we should probably expect at least 7 innings from him tonight.
Hopefully, even more.
May not be quite ready yet. But that doesn't mean he shouldn't get a first look sometime fairly soon.
I believe he also has some recent experience at first.
My thoughts exactly. Royce isn't even guaranteed a return trip to TC at any point in time, let alone to a position he's played before.
KC is certainly a part of the near and long-term future of the team. Royce, not so much anymore.
