| Giavotella 'ready to break out' |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(2/4/13) Royals infielders Chris Getz and Johnny Giavotella will battle for the starting job at second base this spring and manager Ned Yost can't wait for the competition to begin, according to the The Kansas City Star. “I think it’s really going to be interesting, the competition at second base between Chris Getz and Johnny Giavotella,” Yost said. “I think both guys are ready for the competition. Chris Getz looks tremendous. he’s healthy. He looks like he’s added some bulk, and looks like he’s ready to go. I think that Johnny is ready to break out and be the player that he’s always been in the minor leagues. I think that’s going to be very, very interesting.”

2013 Draft Prep: Non-roster invitees to consider
If you are in a really deep or league-specific format, drafting that veteran non-roster invitee might make a legitimate impact on your Fantasy season. Our Nando Di Fino shares some of his favorites.
|
| Granted, he has only 359 at-bats to his name so far, but if those 359 at-bats count for anything, the 25-year-old Johnny Giavotella is a textbook example of why you shouldn't assess a player exclusively on minor-league numbers. In five seasons down on the farm, he has hit .308 with an .823 OPS. His best work came in 362 at-bats at Triple-A Omaha just last year, when he hit .323 with 10 homers and an .877 OPS. Yet when he got the opportunity to play every day for the Royals over the final six weeks last year, he couldn't deliver, hitting .250 with a .606 OPS. The same thing happened when he auditioned for a starting role late in 2011. Maybe he just hasn't had a chance to get comfortable yet. After all, he has yet to play a full season in the majors. But the Royals don't seem willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, frequently opting to play the light-hitting Chris Getz over him. The two will enter 2013 competing for the starting second base job, but Getz has history working in his favor. Giavotella is worth a Hail Mary late in AL-only drafts, but that's about it.
