By all accounts, Chris Getz is on his way back and that is good news assuming the Royals can make room for him on the roster in a way that does NOT involve Alex Gordon.

The 2011 Indianapolis Infield
Yesterday the Pittsburgh Pirates added Josh Fields on a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training. The deal is a smart move to make, as Fields will most likely compete with Andy Marte for a backup corner infield role. Regardless of which player wins, the role isn't that important, and I'd much rather [...]
