It’s Biggio’s first homer of the season, and his first homer as a member of the Royals. Even with the roundtripper, he’s still hitting an ugly .191/.321/.255 while only being valuable to the Royals because of his versatility. It wasn’t that long ago that Biggio looked like a fantasy thing. Sometimes it doesn’t work out.

We were mystified that Biggio even managed to make the Royals, and now he’s started eight of the team’s 15 games, all of them at premium offensive positions (he was at first tonight). He’s simply a bad hitter, and he’s particularly poorly suited to Kansas City’s home ballpark. There’d be so many better uses of his roster spot.

Good to see that this odd fascination seems over. Biggio, who is 4-for-14, started five of the Royals’ first seven games, with three of those coming at first base when Vinnie Pasquantino was limited to DH. Biggio did DH on Friday, but the Royals have rotated players in that spot since. Maikel Garcia is actually there tonight.

It’s official. Biggio will open the regular season on Kansas City’s bench. The 29-year-old can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats, but he figures to play a versatile multi-position role for the Royals.
