I would say there is a very good chance he ends up in Minnesota, but KC could be possible too

Kaufman would be good for him. It suppresses HRs, but is a great 2Bs and 3Bs field considering I think it has the most area in the OF of all ML stadiums (including Coors and Comerica). Plus, he can cover some ground and would be a much better defender than Francouer. He's only 28. He's an Iowa boy, a Xavier grad. I would love to see him with the Royals, but hope he does well wherever he ends up.

Obviously, it would be better for him to go someplace that doesn't want to send Francouer to the plate 600 times a year.
