Conine slimmed down sees improved Royals form
Kansas City outfielder Jeff Conine shed weight from 226 to 209 pounds in the off season and hopes health and speed translate into more offense. He played 93 games last season with eight homers and a .256 average, missing time due to injuries. Conine posted strong numbers with runners on base and in scoring position while Grapefruit League play shows a .391 average. Royals manager Tony Muser and new hitting coach Lamar Johnson express optimism about his conditioning and swing improvement as the team seeks production after departures of Palmer and Offerman.
