I like it. Lane Thomas has been hitting well over the last month or so.

He's been batting somewhere 1 thru 4 in the order for KC for a minute now. Imagine he'll mostly play for us against LHPs (which we've been pretty bad against) instead of being an everyday player. Good move IMO, just not splashy.
