What would a fair return look like for Melendez? Given Moore's track record and comments, my guess would be he'd look for someone relatively young and controllable, but who already has MLB experience. Positionally, obviously CF is a priority. But you do limit yourself if you feel the need to focus on position and not just go "best player available", as it were.

I sometimes think that God is trying to help the Royals, such as by Benny’s injury opening the door for us to give Olivares and Rivera the time they need to show us if they can be a successful part of our next championship team. If God fearing Dayton (no disrespect intended) cannot get the message, then it might be good for that injury to linger until the end of the year.

And I hope that Singer stays at AAA until until he sees how Bubic’s and Hernandez willingness to use more pitches is a requirement to return. And why not give the next chance to Kowar anyway? Some humble pie for Singer might help him, like it helped Alex and Moose to be sent down, whether for shoulder fatigue or ineffectiveness or whatever the reason.
