John Buck supplied the Royals with a pair of solo homers Saturday in a one-run loss to the Marlins.
Both were solo shots, as Ryan Shealy went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts ahead of him in the order. One of the biggest mysteries of the season is why the Royals have refused to move Buck up in the order even though he's been their best hitter from day one this year. Buck has 12 homers this year, but he's only managed 24 RBI. It's true he's hitting better with the bases empty -- only three of his homers have come with runners on -- but it's also a fact that he just hasn't had as many opportunities as most.
