Royals infielders Chris Getz and Johnny Giavotella will battle for the starting job at second base this spring and manager Ned Yost can't wait for the competition to begin, according to the The Kansas City Star. “I think it’s really going to be interesting, the competition at second base between Chris Getz and Johnny Giavotella,” Yost said. “I think both guys are ready for the competition. Chris Getz looks tremendous. he’s healthy. He looks like he’s added some bulk, and looks like he’s ready to go. I think that Johnny is ready to break out and be the player that he’s always been in the minor leagues. I think that’s going to be very, very interesting.”
