Royals' Paulo Orlando: Steals second base in 3-for-4 game against Twins
Orlando stole a base and knocked in two runs in a 3-for-4 game in Monday's win over Minnesota.
Analysis:
Orlando's excellent season continues, as his batting line is up to .400/.412/.538 in 65 at-bats. His main fantasy asset was thought to be his speed, but the stolen base was only Orlando's second in as many attempts this season. While Orlando will certainly fall back to earth, he showed solid power last season (.444 slugging percentage, 27 extra-base hits in 86 games) and is earning more and more playing time with his bat, particularly against left-handers.
