MLB.com reports that Joakim Soria will not be moved into the rotation next season. The Royals' best player appeared in 63 games in 2008 and recorded 42 saves while posting a 1.60 ERA. "One of the most important qualities of a successful closer is that he creates a perception in the opponents' dugout that the game is over," Moore said. "And I think Joakim is beginning to develop that kind of aura about him."
The Boston Globe points out that Joey Gathright had only three doubles in 279 at-bats in 2008.
The Kansas City Royals fired hitting coach Mike Barnett and third-base coach Luis Silverio, according to the Kansas City Star.
