Royals' Garrett Hampson: Picks up first steal
Garrett Hampson stole a base as a pinch runner in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Orioles.Hampson has played in three of the Kansas City Royals' four games so far, but he hasn't started any of them. The 29-year-old offers speed and defensive versatility off the bench, a role that is more valuable on the field than in fantasy. He is hitless through four at-bats, so he'll need to show more with the bat to have any chance to carve out a larger role.

Royals' Garrett Hampson: Seen as top utility option
Garrett Hampson is projected to be the Kansas City Royals' main utility player this season, Anne Rogers of the Royals' official site reports.Hampson can cover a number of positions -- he's played everywhere but first base and catcher in his major-league career. Rogers notes it's likely Hampson won't have a single position, but he could still come close to everyday playing time by providing cover around the diamond. He hit a career-high .276 with his second-base OPS (.729) last season with the Marlins, which is impressive given he spent his first five seasons with the Rockies, so his move to the Royals alone shouldn't end up having a negative impact on his play.
