Dayton Moore manages to praise Miguel Olivo:

"As I put the pieces in place," Moore said, "I looked at: One, we needed depth and strength at the catching position. This accomplishes that. Two, we needed a power, right-handed bat. This guy's the best available player in our minds currently available to us. In talking with Trey (Hillman), he is not against having one of his catchers DH in the right matchup."

What the Royals have are two right-handed catchers who don't get on base, but sometimes smack out an extra-base hit. To think ether could be a designated hitter indicates that Moore may not be clear on the concept. Designated hitters should hitters first.
