Kansas City, MO The Kansas City Royals went into the season without their star center fielder Carlos Beltran. However, today Beltran has returned to the lineup and will be looked upon to deliver some punch. " I'm just excited to be healthy and back with the team....we have some new faces here and they are playing good baseball so far...i just want to get out there and contribute and help the team win." said a smiling Beltran. Royals management is pleased with the teams performance and has already begun talks with key free agents Scott Spiezio and Darrell May about long term contract extensions. The club has also given a vote of confidence to pitching prospect Jimmy Gobble by promoting the young lefty to AAA Omaha. In other news within the organization, the team has sent Joe Blanton, the young phenom pitcher to single A for a series of developmental starts. "We're hopeful that Joe will look upon this as a way to continue to improve his already impressive arsenal and grow into a mature pro starting pitcher...we have a ton of confidence in Joe's ability and determination." quipped Dan Quisenberry, Director of Player of Personnel. Quisenberry also noted that Jeremy Affeldt, another good looking young pitcher has been sent to AA Wichita, for mechanics work with AA Manager, Keith Bodie. The Royals will begin a three game homestand with Minnesota Thursday, with Miguel Asencio getting the start. It will be Beltran's first game of the season.
