Have you not heard? Dyson is the best #8-9 hitter in the majors.

Only Royals fans will argue over which #9 hitter should be in the game.

Have you heard of what sample size means?

And you think he'll keep that up over the course of 500+ ABs....why?

Don't get me wrong, I think Dyson is the best choice in an every day lineup, but let's not get carried way. He's still nothing more than a slap-hitter with above-average defense.
