Royals set roster

The Royals 24-man (yes, 24-man) roster was finalized today, the roster will expand to 25 when Olivo returns from his four game suspension. No big surprises except maybe that Shealy was optioned to Omaha, he had a good spring hitting 4 home runs and 10 RBI. Shealy could even return when Olivo's suspension is up though another reliever is also a possibility.

Those going to Omaha are Ryan Shealy, Jason Smith, Mitch Maier, Angel Berroa, Joel Peralta, Hideo Nomo, Neal Musser, Brad Salmon and Brandon Duckworth. Luke Hudson will see extended spring training in Arizona.

The Royals are going with seven infielders, which is pretty unusual. I really wish the German trade would of happened.
