Flanny's Twitter chat: Here's a sampling of the conversation
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Jeffrey Flanagan was in the Kauffman Stadium press box Tuesday night, like always. But in addition to tracking the Royals' game against the White Sox and working on his 3 Up/3 Down analysis for FOXSportsKansasCity.com, Flanny was conversing directly with you via Twitter.
In a Twitter chat that was promoted during the broadcast -- if you watched the game, you now have a face to place with the byline -- Flanny answered viewer questions that were tweeted live. He responded to queries about the third-base situation, the draft, the third-base situation, the Royals' base-running, the third-base situation, Royals prospects, the third-base situation, bunting, the third-base situation .... You get the idea.
@xx_DoubleD_xx A fair question. Ned's reasoning last night was that Vargas did get Konerko out twice prior to the homer rather easily.

@RRB4KU It will increase greatly if Valencia hits right-handers. Yet to see that during his career.

@BHIndepMO We have a winner! Bring back the Boone-o-meter. The one that had Chico Lind batting cleanup. Loved that one.

@BigSamMob There will be some $$ available, but keep an eye on prospect Cheslor Cuthbert's progress -- 5 HRs now with .350 OBP at AA

@kccanton Was just talking about that. Not fulltime at 3B but he can play SS, 2B, 3B. Club officials see signs he is getting better at plate

@MacisWinning My prediction would be no, unless Dayton determines this team stops playing hard for him.

@mattwolters Not sure what shakeups they can make other than sending Moose out. and you can't fire hitting coaches every five minutes

@RaeannaaNicolee Hoz and Billy can't bunt. Gordon has bunted for hits in the past so he's capable.

@AwzRocks @Royals Zimmer's brother first, then best player available. Next wave of prospects at High A, so you could go high schoolers again

@thegoodDrH At least be in the middle of the pack in the league offensively instead of at the bottom
