"Drew Waters, a former second-round pick of the Braves, has played parts of four seasons with Kansas City. The 27-year-old has a .234/.300/.369 slash line while striking out 31% of the time in just under 700 career plate appearances."
"Waters batted .188 with one home run across 16 games this spring. His defensive grades in center field have been fine but unexceptional, not enough to overcome the limited production at the plate."
"Tolbert also has a modest offensive ceiling, but he's a plus athlete who's better suited to make an impact as a defensive replacement or pinch runner. He also has a couple minor league options remaining."
"Morgan signed a minor league deal in January. The 29-year-old had a strong camp, tossing 10 1/3 innings of one-run ball with 12 strikeouts, showcasing an excellent changeup."
The Royals designated outfielder Drew Waters for assignment, finalizing their Opening Day roster. Waters, out of options, did not make the team. Kansas City filled the open roster spot by selecting a righty reliever's contract, who was optioned to Triple-A Omaha. Three players were placed on the injured list, including James McArthur, Stephen Kolek, and Michael Massey. Waters has a .234/.300/.369 career slash line and struggled this spring. The Royals may trade Waters or run him through waivers soon.
