CHRIS GETZ RUMORS & GOSSIP
Royals making most of getaway days
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Maybe its time the Royals started doing those Southwest Airlines commercials.
They have become a team that knows how to get away.
The Royals are 6-0 on getaway days those days the team plays on the same day it travels to another city. Monday they will get a chance to make it 7-0 when they wrap their homestand against the White Sox before heading to Baltimore...

The Most Powerless Modern .400 Seasons
Chris Getz hit his first home run in 1144 plate appearances against Atlanta last night. It was rather overshadowed when the Braves smacked three home runs off of Kelvin Herrera in the eighth inning as if they had a whole lineup full of Chris Getzes. Getz does not have much power, but he does make up for it with other skills. Yeah, right. Getz is off to a pretty hot start (for him...

When Kansas City Royals’ 2nd baseman Chris Getz reaches first base this year, his first base coach Rusty Kuntz will be there to welcome him. Occasionally we will be lucky enough to have...
Konerko Getz Kuntz, say what?
Royals First Base Coach Rusty Kuntz’s name is the gift that keeps on giving. It's good to know that our middle school humor is still in tact.
Royals take safe route in Getz over Giavotella
KANSAS CITY, Mo. You could almost hear the moans from Royals fans across the area when manager Ned Yost announced that Chris Getz had indeed beat out Johnny Giavotella for the second-base job.
Many fans have been pulling for Johnny G to win the job for close to two years. But as was the case last year, Getz held off the challenger again in spring training.

Getz wins Second Base Job
by John Viril—
Royals Manager Ned Yost announced today that Chris Getz will open the season at second base ahead of competitor Johnny Giavotella. Given their performances in spring training, this decision was a foregone conclusion. Getz clearly outhit Giavotella during spring training (.940 OPS vs. .683)—a death knell for the roster hopes of hitting-first player like Giavotella...

Getz continues homerless streak
Just about every change in baseball over the last few decades has been geared toward producing more offense and more home runs.
The ballparks get smaller as do the strike zones, it seems.
Yet in this age of inflated home run numbers, Royals second baseman Chris Getz is the bizarre anomaly:

In fact, Getz hasn't hit a home run in almost three...
